Parts of the riverwalk at The Forks have been closed after recent rains pushed water levels up over the weekend.

Sections of the path — from the amphitheatre on the Red River west up the Assiniboine River to the Legislative Building — are under water and temporary closed.

It isn't known when the walkway will be safe enough to be reopened.
