Shean Trail Crossing Temporary Closure Update
The Municipality is advising residents of the community of Inverness that infrastructure work near the Shean Trail crossing, as part of the Central Avenue Rebuild Project, is still underway as of August 10, 2026. As a result, the crossing is now expected to remain closed during contractor’s working hours (7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) until later this week while crews complete underground infrastructure upgrades. The construction zone will remain barricaded, and trail users will not be able to pass through the work area during these hours. Access to the trail crossing will be restored at the end of each work day, and will be maintained this weekend.
The Municipality will provide a further update on when full access to the crossing will be restored as soon as more information becomes available. The Municipality apologizes for any inconveniences and thanks residents and trail users for their understanding.
