Pathway closures

Pathway closures and detours

Notable Closures – March 2024

Sunnyside Flood Barrier Tree Removal

Bow River Wheeling Pathway will be closed between 10 Street and 14 Street N.W. on Thursday, March 14 for tree activity.

Please follow detour signage in the area.

Long-term Closures (ongoing)

A section of the Bow River Pathway from 8 Street S.E. to 12 Street S.E. is currently closed for Inglewood Sanitary Trunk Phase 2 construction.

Please follow signage and use the detour along 8 Avenue S.E.

Summer months tend to be busy and Calgarians use our pathways and bikeways extensively. Periodically pathways may need to be closed due to maintenance, construction work or other unsafe conditions. Temporarily closing pathways and setting up detours allows work to be completed as quickly as possible, while keeping both citizens and workers safe.

Pathway closures due to slope stability follow best practice in slope stability management to ensure a safe re-opening. For more information, visit the Slope stability management policy and framework.

Thank you for your patience during construction.

Snow on our pathways

Is it snowing? To make it easier for Calgarians to use the pathway system, maintenance activities include clearing snow from approximately 400 kilometers of paved (regional) pathways, usually within 24 hours of a snowfall. Be sure to check out the latest information about snow clearing on Calgary’s pathways.
