Slope stabilized along Salmon Ridge Trail in Promontory, but trail not reinstated
CHILLIWACK — The Salmon Ridge Trail was once a popular hiking path in Chilliwack within the forested trail network that connected parts of Promontory with Chilliwack Lake Road.
But the raging flood waters in the atmospheric river events of 2021 inflicted severe damage and eroded parts of the trail to the point that immobile fences were erected at various access points, rendering parts of the trail behind Bridle Ridge Crescent up on Promontory inaccessible and impassable.
Thankfully, work has now wrapped up on a critical slope stabilization project behind 46058 Bridle Ridge Crescent. The project began in early August 2022 and was completed in November 2022 at a final cost of $1.64 million.
According to Jamie Leggatt, director of communications for the City of Chilliwack, funding has been identified through Emergency Management B.C. following the November 2021 atmospheric river.
