The BLT Trail entrance parking lot (on Lakeside Dr.) has been blocked off by @NSLandsForestry - please walk or bike to the trail rather than driving to help maintain social distances.

Just for your information the @CanadianForces Reserves will be doing a march with full gear including weapons (#withoutammunition) on the @BLTTrails over the next two days. They will only be on the trail a short time and other users are still able to continue using the trails.

Please note that a tree is down between James St. and Forestglen Dr. in the Timberlea area - use caution in that area. We'll get it cleaned up today.

There might be delays on the trail today due to the construction work around Forestglen Dr. and Richard St. in Timberlea.

Please note that paving is taking place today between James St. to Richard. There will be truck traffic around the trail but no closures - however, please use caution.

Trail work near Hubley was completed today! The barriers should come down tomorrow morning, and the trail will be reopened for the weekend. There will be a bit of softness in the sections that were done until it dries up, so please take care.

1. Trail closure announcement - please share widely! We'll be doing some grading work from about km 11-13 of the trail (this is the area roughly between Silver Birch Dr and the end of the trail at the St. Margaret's Bay Rd. crossing near Lewis Lake).

We received a message today from the city that although there will be work happening around Forestglen in terms of pouring curbs, access to the trail will be maintained.

Thanks also to funders at @hfxgov, @NS_CCH, the OHV Infrastructure Fund, and @BayTCwin. Also thanks to @NSLandsForestry for their help with the whole process, and the ATV Association of NS for help with consultations.

We're hoping to open up the closed section of trail later this afternoon (September 17) - we require an inspection by Department of Lands and Forestry. We will post as soon as it is reopened.
