Over the next few weeks, a section of the Mission Creek Greenway may be periodically closed for dike repairs.
The Regional District of the Central Okanagan is asking Greenway users to obey the fencing, signs and work crews.
The periodic closures will occur from Aug. 17 to Sept. 15 so equipment can access the work area just downstream from the KLO Road Bridge.
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations will be making repairs and reinforcing the dike along Mission Creek.
While the work is underway, the Greenway trail will be restricted to a narrow pathway through the fenced creek-side work area.
Greenway users are asked not to stop through this section as it may become congested. Cyclists and horse riders are asked to dismount and walk safely through this area.
In addition, the Regional District said the ministry will be doing dike repair work and tree pruning along a separate trail on the south side of Mission Creek, upstream from the Lakeshore Road Bridge.
This area will be completely closed and not accessible while the work is underway.
