A bridge on the Kettle Valley Rail Trail that’s been closed since last summer after being deemed unsafe is now undergoing structural repairs.
The closed bridge is located on Trout Creek near Summerland, approximately 20 kilometres west of Faulder.
According to the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen (RDOS), work on bridge structure KV-039 includes repairs to a failing fill slope below an abutment and repairs to a pier that has been scoured by the river.
The RDOS says the bridge repairs are being completed under various acts to ensure environmental sustainability.
