Escarpment Update #6

Over the coming days, City crews and contractors will begin constructing a 75-metre, 200-piece lock-block wall along a portion of the Robert Service Way escarpment.

The decision to build the wall behind the concrete barriers already in place follows increased activity along the slope as the spring freshet is underway. The lock-block wall will provide an additional layer of protection against smaller slides.

Robert Service Way and the Millennium Trail will remain open while work is underway but motorists are asked to respect speed limits, signage.

People are asked to use caution in the area at all times as conditions can change rapidly and a road closure may be necessary if conditions become unsafe.
