A section of the Bruce County Rail Trail will close for a week.
Bruce County says the trail will close from May 29 through June 7 between Absalom Street and Concession 30 in Mildmay due to the installation of a sanitary line within the rail trail corridor. There will be no trail access for users while work is completed, and no detours will be implemented.
For the safety of all trail users, the county is asking that everyone please stay off the trail while the work is done. A map of the area where the work will be done is available here:

Questions, concerns, or comments about the closure can be directed to Andrew Beumer, Bruce County’s Trails Manager, at 519-881-2400 or email abeumer@brucecounty.on.ca.
Additionally, Saugeen Shores will be installing a new water and sanitary main to Innovation Park along Concession 6 from May 23 to August 31, and access will be limited to local traffic only.
This work at times will impede or include closures on the Bruce County Rail Trail running north and south across Concession 6. The parking area (315 Concession 6, Port Elgin) will also be closed and not accessible during construction.
ATV traffic will be re-routed around Port Elgin using a temporary bypass on Sideroad 18/19 and Concession 2. There will be no ATV access using Concession 6.
