Beginning September 10, a portion of the T’Railway Provincial Park at Fischells Trestle, located in the community of Fischells, will be closed for repairs for approximately two weeks.

The closure is required to replace the decking on the trestle. Users are advised to make alternate arrangements when travelling through this region, as no viable bypass is available.

The repair is part of a trestle decking partnership between the Parks Division of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation and the Newfoundland T’Railway Council. Other trestles along the western region of the Island will also be re-decked as part of this partnership.

Please report any damage or concerns related to the T’Railway to the Parks Division at trailway@gov.nl.ca or by telephone at 709-637-2040.
