Flooding and erosion close Waterfront Trail

Surging water levels and erosion have forced the closure of sections of the Waterfront Trail along the Beach Strip and near Confederation Park, the city says.

The east end of the Waterfront Trail is closed east of Wild Water Works to the bridge beyond the Waterfront Trail Lookout Point.

There are also restrictions due to damage near the Breezeway Trail at the Burlington Bridge, the city said in a news release Monday afternoon.

"The trail will be closed until further notice," the city said in a statement. "Residents are advised to avoid the area."
