Galloping Goose Regional Trail closures extended in Victoria

The Capital Regional District (CRD) and the City of Victoria have announced extended closures on sections of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail due to ongoing infrastructure upgrades. A current closure exists between Cecelia Road and Culduthel Road, with detours directed toward a neighbourhood bikeway via Washington Avenue and Whittier Avenue.

The construction involves a combination of Victoria’s sanitary sewer replacement and CRD projects aimed at widening the trail and installing energy-efficient lighting in Cecelia Ravine Park. These upgrades are intended to improve safety and accessibility by creating dedicated spaces for walking and separate two-direction cycling pathways.

Additional work north of Viaduct Park will extend the current detours. The closure in the southern section is expected to remain in place until spring 2027. The broader project also includes the renewal of the Selkirk, Brett, and Swan Lake trestles, as well as widening sections of the Lochside Regional Trail.
