CARLYLE — The Carlyle Lake Main Dam bridge deck will be closed for maintenance work beginning on Friday.

The work will include an annual inspection to ensure the integrity and increase the longevity of the structure. The work is expected to last through Friday July 22nd.

Many visitors use the existing Main Dam Road for recreational opportunities. During this time frame, pedestrian traffic will be restricted across the Main Dam bridge deck.

The East and West Main Dam service roads will remain open for visitors wishing to enjoy walking, running, or bike riding.

Visitors should also consider using the Carlyle Lake Bike Trail located around the lake and through the City of Carlyle.
