Full Notification

Canyon Road, between Constance Place and the Valle Vista Staging Area, remains closed due to structural issues with the bridge. The road is closed to ALL TRAFFIC - motor vehicles, bicycles, horses and pedestrians. Please do not access the closed area as violators will be cited.

The Town will be holding a public meeting to discuss the road and bridge closure on Thursday April 27, 2017, 6:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers at 335 Rheem Blvd. The meeting will also be live-streamed, which can be accessed via the Town's website and allows people to watch from home.

The Town has a team of engineers, including geotechnical and structural engineers, who are studying the issues and working to come up with a solution. The structural integrity of the current bridge is being affected by earth movement. Although the bridge looks normal and has been functioning as designed, this earth movement is causing problems and adversely affecting the support structure under the bridge. If this continues to occur or if there is a rapid earth movement, the bridge can fail without warning and anyone on or around the bridge would be in danger. When the Town was advised of this risk to public safety, the bridge was closed.

The Town has publicized this closure through media outlets and electronic resources, advised bicycle user groups and has requested that traffic apps and maps reflect the closure. Please help us spread the word by passing this information to anyone you know who may travel through the area. The Town will continue to provide information and updates as they are available.

Thank you for your patience as the Town continues to work to identify the cause of this issue and develop the best solution for all involved.
