The Town of Hillsborough is urging citizens to stay away from sections of Riverwalk that are currently closed because of a sewer maintenance project.
“We are very concerned that someone is going to get hurt,” said town engineer and utilities director Kenny Keel.
Parts of the greenway are roped off while crews reline sewer pipes along the Eno River, but pedestrians have been walking under and around the caution tape that blocks the closed section.
The greenway’s downtown entrance is closed, but the town encouraged people to park at Gold Park, where they will be able to access much of the greenway’s trails.
The Stickwork is also part of the closed area.
Work on the project started this week and is expected to be completed within 10 business days.
