Annual concrete repairs on the Western Canal Trail in Gilbert will begin Monday, March 3, affecting areas east of Arizona Avenue to west of Val Vista Drive.

Repairs will happen in phases from west to east, with rolling closures in active construction zones.

During repairs, trail users will be detoured to the opposing bank of the canal with signs and barricades directing pedestrians and cyclists safely around the work areas. The project is expected to take four to five weeks, weather permitting.

The trail will remain open, but specific sections under repair will be temporarily closed.

Trail users should follow posted signs directing them to alternative paths. 

Continuous maintenance is meant to ensure Gilbert’s trails remain safe and accessible, according to the town.
