Construction work on the Toby Creek Dike in Invermere is starting on July 1, with some areas closed to the public.
There will be a partial closure to the parking area near the Ray Brydon Dog Park, as well as closures to the East Toby Dike trail and access to the Industrial 2 Road entrance.
The closures are expected to last until November 3 as crews work to raise the height and length of the dike so it stretches from Panorama Drive to Toby Canyon.
The changes will enhance long-term flood resilience and meet adjusted 200 year flood flow standards.
The district is asking residents to avoid heavy machinery in the area and to obey all posted signage.
