Detours are in place with alternate routes using local roads, sidewalks, and multi-use trails that extend from Ackison Road in Selwyn Township, to Parkhill Road West and Monaghan Road in the City of Peterborough.

The revitalization of Jackson Creek Trail has been made possible with a $523,917 investment from the Government of Canada, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF), with additional funding of over $60,000 from Trans Canada Trail.

The community has also raised over $40,000 in donations to revitalize the Jackson Creek Trail. However, $25,000 must still be raised to ensure benches, educational signage, trail markers and accessible wayfinding signs can be designed and installed once the trail bed is repaired and re-opens this December. Those wishing to donate can go online.
