A segment of Round Rock's Greater Lake Creek Trail will temporarily close Aug. 10, according to a city news release. From A.W. Grimes Boulevard to Callison Elementary School, the trail will close for several months due to road work on Logan Street.

The Logan Street connection project will extend Logan to A.W. Grimes with construction anticipated to begin later this year.
