Residents in Sidney, British Columbia, who commute into Victoria should prepare for continued disruptions and new delays on the Galloping Goose Regional Trail. The Capital Regional District has confirmed that a portion of the trail is still closed due to unstable ground, and maintenance work is set to begin later this week.
A section of the path between Cecelia Road and Viaduct Park remains off-limits because the nearby slopes are not safe for travel. This specific closure has been in effect since December 2025, forcing people to use detours when heading toward the city.
Trail users will also face temporary stops on Friday, March 6, 2026, for tree removal. Staff will be working on the trees from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., so people travelling during those hours should expect short waits.
These issues impact a major route for people from Sidney and the Peninsula who bike or walk into Victoria. The regional government suggests that everyone using the trail allow for extra travel time and stay alert for signs marking the closed sections.
