A section of the Riverwalk in Hillsborough will be closed this Thursday for erosion-control work.

The work will take place between emergency markers 108 and 109 west of the Stickwork sculpture.

Thursday’s work will not interfere with Friday’s ribbon cutting event for the new bridge connecting Riverwalk to the Historic Occoneechee Speedway Trail.

The erosion-control work is part of the town’s effort to improve the water quality of the runoff in the Eno River.
