• Dates and times for specific trail closures and when public access is permitted is posted at access points to the area.
• Detours will be in place for trails.
• Obey all signage and avoid construction areas for your safety.

• Effective Date: August 30, 2021 until approximately October 1, 2021

• Effective Date: July 13, 2021 for approximately 4 weeks

• Why: To allow for the demolition of the Eastbound Stoney Trail bridge

• Effective Date: June 16, 2021
• Where: Sikome Aquatic Facility, Fish Creek Provincial Park 
• Why: As a result of operational restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, start-up processes for Sikome Aquatic Facility were put on hold this spring. These processes, which take a minimum of 8 weeks, make opening for summer 2021 infeasible. As a result, Sikome Aquatic Facility will remain closed for summer 2021.

Alberta Transportation will be widening the westbound lane, replacing the eastbound lane and installing a new pedestrian bridge on Stoney Trail over the Bow River.

Work will be ongoing until the autumn of 2023 and impacted areas will include the pathway system connecting Rotary Nature Park to McKenzie Meadows and, on the west side of the Bow River, from Sikome Aquatic Facility to Lafarge Meadows.

Additionally, please note the current pedestrian overpass is permanently closed, to facilitate construction of a replacement.

Detours and closures for pedestrian, cyclist and river users will be ongoing during this project. Parking at Rotary Nature Park will also be intermittently closed. Please obey all signs, closures and detours.
