Temporary Waverly Rail Trail Bridge Closure

posted in Leisure Services on October 21, 2026

Waverly’s Rail Trail Bridge, located between 1st St. NW and Cedar Lane and commonly known as the Nestle Bridge, will temporarily close beginning Saturday, October 24, at 8:00 a.m. as volunteers complete staining work that began during United Way’s Day of Caring.

The bridge will remain closed until Sunday, October 25, at noon to allow the stain to dry. Trail users are asked to respect all closure signs and barricades and avoid the bridge during this time.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as our volunteers work to improve the bridge and keep trail users safe.

Welcome to Waverly. Great schools. Diverse housing options. Robust job market. Top-flight indoor rec center. Outdoor recreation adventures of all kinds. Prestigious Wartburg College. And a safe and welcoming community of people who value the good life in a beautiful place.
