Medicine Hat to rehab three Ross Creek trails starting Aug. 24
Crews will widen and repave 1.23 kilometres of trail in the Ross Creek network, with work expected to run into late October.
The City of Medicine Hat is set to begin rehabilitating three trails in the Ross Creek network on Aug. 24 as part of its 2026 trail rehabilitation program. Work will affect the Carter Crescent, Ross Glen and East Glen trails and is expected to continue until late October, weather permitting.
The 1.23-kilometre project involves removing and replacing existing asphalt, and widening the trails from 2.5 metres to three metres to improve accessibility and boost capacity for pedestrians and cyclists. Crews will prepare and compact the trail subgrade, widen shoulders where necessary, pave the expanded surfaces and restore any disturbed areas.
Additional upgrades include replacing outdated trail signage, repairing and upgrading deteriorated fencing, and installing a new culvert to improve drainage along the route.
The city says signage will be posted as construction moves through the trail network and is asking users to proceed with caution and take alternate routes where possible while the work is underway.
