Lota Creek boardwalk (between Whites Rd and Chelsea Rd)

It means, during the month of June, you will not be able to ride between Whites Rd and Chelsea Rd. You will have to ride down Green Camp Rd to get to Ricketts Rd. Be careful as Green Camp Rd is narrow and very busy.
I do not work for the BCC, I only have limited information from them as I asked. They will place a formal advertisement of work being performed, on their web site next week.

If the tide is in and I can't take the causeway, I just cancel my ride that way since that stretch terrifies me.

I've only been told about it. The only place you have to dismount is entering and exiting the path. I'll be looking for it in a test run prior to the boardwalk closure. Otherwise I will taking other routes and avoiding Chelsea Rd. I also hate riding on Green Camp Rd and everytime I've done it I could not wait to get off it as it is too nerve racking.

I'm pretty certain there is nothing.darkelf921 wrote:Apparently there is a concrete path between the top of Whites Rd an Chelsea Rd, bypassing the creek (somehow). It goes through the "bush walking" area.
There are loads of walking paths, but none go back over the Lota Creek.

Edit: Where exactly will it dump you? Manly or Dane?

I took some photos in case anyone is wondering what it is like. Please excuse the quality - first Gen iPhone!
The first of 2 new bridges across the creeks:
A typical stretch of the track:
If you're heading East (from the Manly/Dane Rd end), you will want to turn LEFT at this sign- they seem to have the signage wrong, as Left will get you to Chelsea Rd
Here is how it looks from the Chelsea Rd entrance:
And the track on the map:
The path is really nice and wide - certainly wider than the boardwalk and flat for most of the route, though it does kick up at the Manly Rd end.
It would be nice if they decide to allow/encourage bicycles in here - I don't see why we wouldn't be welcome if we stick to the path and look out for walkers.
