The City of Edmonton says the east sidewalk on the High Level Bridge has been closed.
The closure comes after recent heavy rainfall and additional rain forecast, which have caused slope instability near the southeast side of the High Level Bridge.
“A section of the slope next to the wooden guardrail has experienced failure, making it unsafe for pedestrians and active mode users. The east sidewalk will remain closed until further notice. Pedestrians and active mode users can still cross the High Level Bridge using the west sidewalk,” said the City of Edmonton in a statement.
Additionally, a portion of the far left turn lane will also be closed on the 109 Street hill directly after the High Level Bridge.
The sidewalk was closed around 6 p.m. on June 25, and the City says it will monitor conditions and provide more updates accordingly.
