Missouri Greenway

Monarch Chesterfield Levee

[1.]Crews will be painting the westbound Boone Bridge beginning March 10, 2025 through mid-April 2025. The walking and biking path and connections on Chesterfield and St. Charles County side will remain open between 5:30 am and 7pm. Crews will close path on the bridge and KATY Trail & Missouri Greenway connections from 7pm to 5:30pm. Please use caution as you move through the construction zone.

[2.]Starting February 10, 2025, through late June 2025, a 220-foot section of the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee trail will be closed to allow essential upgrades and infrastructure improvements to a stormwater pump station in Chesterfield Valley. This station helps remove stormwater from the levee-protected area, and these improvements will enhance drainage and flood protection.

During construction, trail users can access the trail on both sides of the closure. However, you will not be able to travel between the John. L LeCave Memorial Trailhead and the Katy Trail. For your safety, please respect all signage and construction barriers. The City of Chesterfield thanks you for your patience while these necessary improvements are completed!

Check out the map to see exact location of closure.
