Parks Canada says there’ll be numerous infrastructure projects at work this fall in Riding Mountain National Park.
The Ominnik Marsh trailhead in Wasagaming will be under construction for the next several weeks.
The work will be limited to the trailhead area and the hours of work are from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.
The trail will stay open and can be accessed by following the bush line on the northwest side of the trailhead.
When work is complete, the trailhead will be closer to the road, trees will be planted, and there will be an accessible parking space and a pull-through lane for school buses.
In a press release, RMNP asks visitor planning to hike the Ominnik Marsh to use caution when approaching the trailhead, to park at the south end of the main parking lot in Wasagaming, and to walk along the north side of the Boat Cove Road with caution.
Between September 23, and October 11, there’ll be roadway micro surfacing on multiple roads.
Highway 10 and TaWaPit Drive to Balsam, Highway 10 and Columbine to Wasagaming Drive, Highway 10 and Wasagaming to the Mooswa intersection, and Highway 10 from km 20 to 25.
Micro-surfacing is a treatment to prolong the life of the asphalt.
RMNP says to be prepared for single-lane, alternating traffic, speed reductions to 30 km/hour in the construction zone with traffic control personnel on-site, and occasional delays of up to 20 minutes.
