Rail removal makes way for future Okanagan recreation trail
VERNON, B.C. — A big part of the prep work for the proposed Okanagan Rail Trail is nearing completion.
CN Rail is said to be close to removing the rail infrastructure along the corridor which was part of its sale agreement with local governments.
Road users should be advised there may be intermittent closures where the rail crossings occur until early November.
Senior project manager Andrew Gibbs from the City of Kelowna says with the first funding threshold reached, a design-build plan for the trail has begun, as well as access control designs.
