A section of the Okanagan Rail Trail near Vernon will undergo temporary closures for nearly two weeks next month for rockfall mitigation.
The Regional District of North Okanagan says the work will take place Sept. 11 to 22, with the trail being closed on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The closed section will run from Kickwillie Loop Road to Kekuli Bay Provincial Park, but will be open on weekends and on weekdays after 5 p.m.
The regional district says a detour route is available via the Kal Crystal Waters Trail.
“Those planning on using the detour route are advised that the Kal Crystal Waters Trail has steeper grades than the Okanagan Rail Trail and is therefore more challenging,” said the RDNO.
