Deteriorating bridge in Kelowna park being replaced

Cottonwoods Bridge.

KELOWNA – A foot bridge over Mission Creek along the Greenway recreational path in Kelwona is being replaced.

The regional district reports on-going issues with the surface of the Cottonwoods Bridge.

Spokesperson Bruce Smith says it was leaking water which eventually would affect the safety of the bridge

The new structure will have an oxidized, steel coating that should reduce rust and maintenance costs.

The Mission Creek Greenway will be closed as needed while work is done between October 1st and the 12th.

The Springfield/Ziprick Road parking lot near the Mindy Tran Memorial is closed until the project is completed.

The cost of the bridge replacement is $225,000.
