Temporary trail closures due to flooding

Ice build-up on the Red Deer River has caused isolated flooding and as a result, the temporary closures of two riverfront trails in Red Deer.

City officials say effective immediately, the riverfront trail from the CPR Pedestrian Bridge to Bower Ponds is now closed, as is the riverfront trail from Great Chief Park (Kiwanis Picnic area) to The Heritage Ranch Pedestrian Bridge.

Officials say barricades are in place to notify local trail users of the closure.
