KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — A section of the Link River Trail in Klamath Falls will temporarily close beginning Tuesday, March 17, as Pacific Power begins construction work along the West Side Canal just downstream of Link River Dam.
According to Pacific Power, the project will require stopping water flow in the canal from near the dam downstream to the powerhouse. The work will involve heavy equipment operating in the area and has been coordinated with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the City of Klamath Falls.
To allow crews to safely complete the project, the north access point and a portion of the Link River Trail will be closed during construction. Officials say the closure is expected to last approximately two to three weeks.
Closed areas will be clearly marked, and members of the public are asked to respect the closure and remain a safe distance from construction activity.
The south access point off West Main Street will remain open, along with roughly one mile of trail. However, the trail section near Link River Dam will not be accessible while work is underway.
Pacific Power provides electric service to more than 800,000 customers across Oregon, Washington, and California. The company operates a diverse mix of energy resources including hydroelectric, natural gas, coal, wind, geothermal, and solar generation.
