BST West City Creek Trail Restoration (May 15-26, 2023)

The project was completed on Friday, May 26 in time for Memorial Day weekend.

Grade reversals were installed to keep water off the trail and sediment on the trail.

A lower culvert was rock armored to keep water flowing under the trail and not on it.

Organic and biotic material was strategically hand-placed on the trail edges to finish off the work.

Rehabilitation work commenced on Wednesday, May 17 from the north (junction A) by creating a natural berm that will carry water off the trail from the steep descent.

The culvert at the uppermost spring was rock-armored and widened to protect the spring and reinforce the trail crossing.

Added fan drains will for water to run off trail and minimize standing water and loosening of sediment.

Temporary closures should only last through the week of May 29-June 2. Please allow the trail contractors to complete their work and use the detours along City Creek Canyon Road between junctions B, C, and D. (see map below).
