Comments:

We received notice that the Charles Creek Bridge on Riverside Ave is closed and being replaced. This bridge is on the 10km portion of the primary YRE route, immediately after the 5 and 10 km routes split. The construction closure is expected to last approximately 10 months (APR 2011).
We are working a revised route to bypass this bridge but until this can be finalized we suggest walking the
5 km portion of the route twice for the 10 km distance or just do the 5 km option.
