A portion of a City of Red Deer trail will be shut down temporarily.
Part of the North Bank Trail from Three Mile Bend to River Bend Recreation Area will be closed in October to accommodate the north highway connector project and regional servicing project. The trail will remain closed until Oct. 31 due to delays as a result of wet weather.
During the trail closure, there is no access between the two areas. River Bend Recreation Area is only accessible from the roadway access along 30th Avenue.
The banks of the river have been changed to accommodate a major utility crossing as well as to build an abutment for a bridge for Northland Drive.
The north highway connector will provide a bypass route around the east side of the city, linking the intersection of Hwy 11A and Gaetz Avenue to Hwy 11, and Hwy 595 (Delburne Road) and Hwy 2 via Northland Drive and 20th Avenue.
