“In addition to directly reinforcing and stabilizing the rock face, the Ministry will construct two retaining walls that will further strengthen the area.
“It is anticipated the work will be completed by the end of May 2020, however, due to the unpredictable nature of ground and rock formations, unexpected delays may occur.
“Barriers and signs will continue to mark and inform the public of the closed section of Railway Trail.
“The Ministry apologises for any inconvenience and urges the public to adhere to the posted signs.”
