PROVO — A mile-long section of the popular Bonneville Shoreline Trail will be closed in Provo for approximately a month while crews clean up after a recent wildfire and its burn scar.

The closure is set to begin on Wednesday, as crews clean up damage within the Buckley Draw Fire burn scar. Crews will use heavy equipment to remove sediment and debris that have accumulated in the area since the fire began this summer.

"This work is necessary to restore the channel's capacity and reduce the risk of future flooding or debris impacts," Provo officials said in a statement Tuesday. "For public safety, the trail will remain closed for the duration of this cleanup effort."

The Buckley Draw Fire burned 452 acres after breaking out in the foothills east of Provo
