The Town of Ankeny will begin construction of the High Trestle Trail Extension Project on Tuesday evening August 24, 2021, weather permitting. The works include the extension of the High Trestle Trail from SE Magazine Road to SE Oralabor Road. A pedestrian bridge will also be constructed over SE Oralabor Road to provide a safe and direct connection between the High Trestle Trail and the Gay Lea Wilson and Oralabor Gateway trails.

During construction, the Oralabor Gateway Trail will be closed on Oralabor Road from SE Peach Tree Drive to SE Rio Drive. The Gay Lea Wilson Trail will be closed at SE Oralabor Road until the Springwood neighborhood connects to SE Primrose Drive. There will also be intermittent lane restrictions on SE Oralabor Road near the construction site.
