FAIRFIELD — Construction is now complete on a section of the Fairfield Loop Trail west of Brookville Road.
The new section of the trail is 75-feet long and 8-feet wide and crosses a gravel driveway owned by Iowa Tire between Brookville Road and Fairfield ReStore on the west edge of town.
Partner Construction was responsible for pouring the concrete, and funding for the project came from a Wellmark Foundation grant, and donations from the Jefferson County Trails Council and Ideal Ready Mix.
The project was supported by the Fairfield Parks & Recreation Foundation, Iowa Tire Co. and the Jefferson County Engineer’s Office.
This is the second project in as many years that the Jefferson County Trails Council has done near Brookville Road. Last year, the bridge near Brookville Road received some repairs, too, which included pouring a concrete slab on the east side of the road, which eliminated ruts made by vehicle traffic that made it difficult for bikes to cross.
