Overview
- A stretch of the boardwalk linking Liberty Square and Frontierland was placed behind construction walls on Tuesday, June 2, closing a direct guest route through that area.
- Crews paved over a small stream known locally as the “Little Mississippi,” removed trees, and opened a new paved walkway with planters and wooden fencing in the cleared spot.
- Retaining‑wall construction near Liberty Square has grown in height and crews are preparing additional concrete pours, signaling a shift from demolition to vertical structural work.
- Reporting and permits tie the work to the Cars‑themed Piston Peak National Park and place its target opening window in late 2028 to mid‑2029, with further phased closures planned through the multi‑year buildout.
- Operational effects already include rerouted guest circulation and paused riverboat/island operations, and visitors should expect more staged boardwalk closures and sightline changes as construction continues.
