Phase 2 of Fernie’s Mountview Dike and Coal Creek Bin wall rehabilitation is moving ahead, with construction to start next week.
Coal Creek will be temporarily rerouted from its path hugging the wall to the opposite side of the creek bed for the duration of the rehabilitation work.
Crews will be repairing and adding scour protection along the toe of the wall.
For the duration of the project, the Coal Creek portion of the TransCanada Trail will be closed from the Cokato Road access to Sharpes Field.
There will be temporary closures to the south end of Dogwood Park and to the pathway from the Dogwood Park Boat Launch.
The contractor intends to re-open areas of the park and trail network as work gets completed.
Residents are asked to obey all closures and detours.
