The east sidewalk of the High Level Bridge will be closed indefinitely starting Thursday around 6 p.m. over safety concerns.
The City of Edmonton said in a statement that recent rains have caused slope instability near the southeast side of the bridge.
“A section of the slope next to the wooden guardrail has experienced failure, making it unsafe for pedestrians and active mode users,” the City said.
The west sidewalk remains open.
As a precaution, a portion of the far left turn lane will be closed on the 109 Street hill directly after the High Level Bridge. Left turns to Saskatchewan Drive and Walterdale Hill will be maintained. Drivers should plan ahead for potential delays.
