The popular 100 steps walkway between Elizatbeth Street and Grove and Metcalfe strees is expected to reopen by the end of September.

The City of Guelph reports that the rail partners who own the bridge portion of the cut-through that goes over the rail lines expect to begin repair work around Sept. 11 and be finished by the end of the month.

The walkway was closed on Aug. 1 after a routine inspection found corrosion of the steel structure supporting the bridge. The city owns the steps connecting to the bridge while the bridge itself is owned and maintained by the railway companies that use the rail corridor.
