Following inspections completed today, the City of Edmonton is closing the east sidewalk on the High Level Bridge starting at or around 6 p.m. on June 25.
Recent heavy rainfall and additional rain forecast for this weekend have caused slope instability near the southeast side of the High Level Bridge. A section of the slope next to the wooden guardrail has experienced failure, making it unsafe for pedestrians and active mode users. The east sidewalk will remain closed until further notice. Pedestrians and active mode users can still cross the High Level Bridge using the west sidewalk.
As a precaution, a portion of the far left turn lane will be closed on the 109 Street hill directly after the High Level Bridge. Left turns to Saskatchewan Drive and Walterdale Hill will be maintained. Drivers should plan ahead for potential delays.
The City will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as more information becomes available.
