Pedestrian Bridge 22 replacement and Colonial Creek rehabilitation
Construction has now concluded and the trail is open.
The City of Waterloo is proceeding with the replacement of Pedestrian Bridge 22 and creek restoration in Kaufman Flats located at 753 University Ave. East, Waterloo. This work to rehabilitate the creek shoreline will minimize the risk of erosion and bank failure. It will also improve the water quality in the creeks, and promote a healthy and diverse habitat for fish.
The pedestrian bridge is a prefabricated steel bridge with a new load limit that can accommodate City of Waterloo operation vehicles.
What to expect during construction
In order to carry out this work, the entrance to the Claude Dubrick Trailway, including the pedestrian bridge crossing the creek, will be temporarily closed for the duration of construction. Construction will not require any road closures and will not prevent access to any private properties.
