Just days after the City of Hamilton closed downbound lanes of the Claremont Access over “slope stability concerns,” a portion of the bicycle lanes on the same access will close intermittently starting Monday.
The shutdown is connected with initiatives set out in 2022 to complete railing repairs along the Keddy Access Trail and is coincidental with the Claremont shutdown.
Other work includes general maintenance including sweeping, graffiti removal and snow fencing upkeep.
