Casorso Road underpass closed along Mission Creek Greenway

Rising water levels have forced the closure of Casorso Road bridge underpass along the Mission Creek Greenway.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan urges visitors to respect any barricades and signs posted at this location as it will remain closed until waters recede. A temporary crosswalk is installed for those wishing to cross the road.

Pedestrians and cyclists are asked to use caution and only cross Casorso Road at the temporary crosswalk when it is safe. Motorists are also asked to watch for Greenway users who may be using the crosswalk in this area while the underpass is closed.

Regional Parks staff continue to monitor creek levels along the Mission Creek Greenway and Scenic Canyon Regional Park recreational corridor.

During spring runoff, water levels in area creeks may rise unexpectedly. Individuals, especially children and pets should remain safely back from creek banks, which may be slippery or become unstable due to erosion.

Those using Okanagan Lake are advised to watch for floating or submerged debris that may be carried into the lake by spring runoff.
