Jackson Creek Trail/Trans Canada Trail is closed for construction and resurfacing and everyone is urged not to use it during this time announced by Otonabee Conservation.
The closure extends from Ackison Road in Selwyn Township in the west to the concrete bridge at the entrance to Jackson Park, in the City of Peterborough in the east.
Large equipment is moving along the entire length of the trail and will include bridge deck and railing replacements and resurfacing the trail for the week of Nov. 14.
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 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.
