The Elevated Park will be closed for the majority of August for the park’s single largest group of construction projects. The park will be closed from August 1st to August 25th as the entire bridge will be having some form on construction done to it.
The project entails the installation of the 210 foot wooden deck, over 600 feet of concrete sidewalk, guardrails for the entire bridge and a new piece of public art.
President of the Board for On Track St. Thomas Serge Lavoie says these construction projects will make the park fully accessible.
Lavoie says that the project will also allow them to have the bridge be fully open from end to end for the first time ever. The reopening of the park will also coincide with their Elevated Picnic.
The trail at the east end of the bridge will remain fully accessible during construction.
