There is no public access to the construction zone. All trail users must keep out of the closure zone for their safety and follow all posted signage.
This closure was originally established for the Victoria to Esquimalt Cable Replacement Project. For more information, visit: Victoria to Esquimalt Cable Replacement Project
BC Hydro is working closely with the CRD and the City of Victoria on this closure. Planned infrastructure upgrades north of Viaduct Park will extend the closure on the Galloping Goose Regional Trail. Coordinating this work within one construction period will reduce repeated closures and limit longer term disruption in Cecelia Ravine Park. The closure is expected to remain in place until spring 2027.
We will update this alert and the detour signage on site to provide advance notice of any changes to the closure or detour. We thank the public for their patience during this closure.
