The city announced Friday that it's got a new plan for cyclists and pedestrians to get across the Bow River.

If you are planning to head downtown this weekend, the city recommends avoiding the Peace Bridge, where only limited foot traffic is being allowed after damage to the bridge from a vandal last Sunday.

As an alternative, the City of Calgary is welcoming pedestrians and cyclists to use the lower deck of the Centre Street Bridge.

The lower deck of Centre Street Bridge was closed in February for bridge upgrades, but recently re-opened to pedestrians and cyclists.

The city also announced that the eastbound lanes of Memorial Drive between 9 St. N.W. and 4 St. N.E. will be closed to vehicles over the long weekend.
