Stretch of Hamilton trail to be closed on Wednesday, Oct. 6

One of Hamilton’s most popular walking trails is expected to be closed for six hours on Wednesday (Oct. 6) due to maintenance work.

The Chedoke Radial Trail is scheduled to be closed from 8 a.m. till 2 p.m. so culverts can be cleaned before there is more significant rainfall. As a result, the trail will be closed between the Chedoke Golf Course and Scenic Drive. Ward 1 City Councillor Maureen Wilson tweeted the culverts are full following heavy rains last week.
