Pedestrian bridges throughout the Muskoseepi Park trail system are set to receive some maintenance work starting Monday.

The city says starting June 28, JMS Construction will be conducting work such as bridge washing, painting, deck treatments and repairing approach rails over the next two weeks.

They say work at each bridge will take approximately one day. Pedestrians during work will be temporarily rerouted on those days.

The bridges that will be worked on include:

North of the reservoir
Near the Ernie Radbourne Pavilion
At the Grande Prairie Museum
South of 99 Avenue
Near 94 Avenue
Near 89 Avenue
Near 84 Avenue
Near 81 Avenue
Near 79 Avenue
Near 76 Avenue
Near 71 Avenue
Southwest and southeast ends of Muskoseepi Park

The work is part of the city’s Bridge Repair and Maintenance Program, which they describe as a proactive approach for identifying maintenance needs to prevent minor structural defects from becoming worse, thus extending the life of the bridges

Specific details on work at each site can be found on the city’s website.
