GODFREY - The Village of Godfrey’s F.E. Widman Trail is nearing completion. The new paved walking/biking path will connect Glazebrook Park to LaVista Park in Godfrey. Village Engineer Richard Beran said that construction has gone smoothly and they are excited to officially open the trail in a few weeks. “It’s been slow but steady,” he said. “All the major work is done now.” Beran said there have been “a few hiccups” with erosion control because Godfrey experienced “all that rain” a few weeks ago, which eroded a few areas on the trail. There was also a delay as they waited for a box culvert to be shipped. But he said that once the erosion is fixed, the trail should be nearly completed. He looks forward to sharing the trail with Riverbend residents. “Once they fix that, all we have left to do is put in the solar-powered flashing beacons at Delmar and then to stripe the crosswalk and the rest of the trail,”
