Construction on the Cycle 16 connector trail in Smithers is nearing completion.
Last week (Nov. 27), the town installed the bridge over Dahlie Creek and said this was a major milestone for the project.
“Next spring, the trail will be paved and will be ready to open to the public,” said town Communication and Engagement Officer Sam LeBlanc.
The project was entirely grant funded with a budget of $2.1 million.
Construction began on July 29th this year and connects the trail at the Highway 16 Bulkley River Bridge to the Fulton Avenue multi-use path.
“We are asking people to stay clear of the area at the moment because it is still an active construction site,” said LeBlanc
No plans are currently in place to hold a grand opening ceremony when the project concludes.
