E & N Rail Trail

Work has begun on the E & N Rail Trail. Another multi-use trail for the Victoria area. When completed it will run from Johnson street bridge out to Colwood along the E & N railway.

Before construction of the Esquimalt length of the trail began it seemed like there would not be enough room beside the tracks to put a trail. After clearing away the blackberry bushes and moving a few fences, there appears to be plenty of room.

From the intersection of Admirals and Colville looking East.

No construction has started on the other side of the Admirals/Colville intersection yet. Not sure why. There's a bit of rock that may need to be blasted.

Looking West from Hutchinson Road towards Admirals Road.

Notice the wide path where cyclists will have plenty of room to weave amongst the pedestrians. This section of the trail should be finished soon.
