A Winnipeg river trail section closes for bridge maintenance, with safety and ice conditions guiding access.

A section of the Nestaweya River Trail along the Red River near The Forks in Winnipeg will close for maintenance on a historic rail bridge, including removal of its steel counterweight framing while ice conditions remain stable. The Assiniboine River segment, from The Forks to Hugo Docks and the Canopy, will stay open as long as weather and ice conditions allow. Officials stress safety is the priority and urge the public to check official sources for updates. Trail signage for donors will be relocated.
