(Perry, Iowa) – Officials with the Raccoon River Valley Trail Association have announced that a 9-mile extension of the High Trestle Trail to connect with the Raccoon River Valley Trail will now be completed on time. Work on the projects has taken more than a decade, with organizers raising millions of dollars to accomplish the feat. Last month it appeared that the opening of the connection between the two trails would be delayed. However, the contractor has informed Dallas County Conservation that the extension will be done on time, August 15th.
