Construction Update

Construction has been delayed due to supply chain issues and will now resume in January 2023.

These closures take place effective immediately until April 14, 2023.  The reopening of the trail and road will depend on the progress of the construction, which is weather dependent.

Signage will be placed throughout the construction zone to alert residents of the closure and to remind them to stay clear of the area. It is important that residents adhere to the closure and stay out of the construction zone at all times to avoid any accidents or injuries.
