Winnipeg, MB – With the normal spring rise in the river level, the Assiniboine River walk from the Osborne Bridge to the Main Street Bridge is temporarily closed to pedestrian traffic. Barricades have been installed indicating the walkway is closed.
Light standards along the Assiniboine River walk have also been temporarily removed in order to prevent potential damage from river ice during the spring break-up. The public is reminded there will be no lighting along the walk during evening/night.
The river walk will be re-opened and light standards will be reinstalled when conditions permit.
