Ruth Johnson Park Pedestrian Bridge Upgrade

July 2024


Construction upgrades to a timber pedestrian bridge in Ruth Johnson Park in the Duprez Ravine area begins Monday, July 8. 

Steel support beams will be installed, ensuring the bridge's longevity and safety for years to come. The bridge will be closed during construction (estimated 1-2 weeks). We ask that park users respect closures for their own safety and to please explore alternative trails in the meantime.

Ruth Johnson Park & Coldicutt Ravine 

Ruth Johnson Park experienced significant damage to its slopes, walkways, and trees as the result of heavy rainfall in January 2020, and Coldicutt Ravine was closed on Jan. 31 as the result of slope failure. 

Storm damage repairs have since been completed at Ruth Johnson Park.

Coldicutt Ravine remains closed to public access per Council’s direction. Please obey park & trail closures and do not tamper with closure signs and barriers.
