- Culvert replacement and recreational pedestrian bridge replacement along the north Niagara Parkway
- Recreation trail closure required beginning on Monday, December 4, near Service Road 70 in Niagara-on-the-Lake
- Road closure required from December 14 – 15 at the intersection of the Niagara Parkway and Line 3 in Niagara-on-the-Lake
Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON – As part of its ongoing investments to address repairs and improvements across the Niagara River corridor, Niagara Parks will undertake two upcoming infrastructure projects along the north Niagara Parkway in Niagara-on-the-Lake. These initiatives underscore Niagara Parks’ commitment to preserving and improving the region's essential assets for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike.
Culvert Construction at Service Road 70
On Monday, December 4, a culvert replacement project will begin along the Niagara Parkway near Service Road 70 in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This project involves the culvert situated beneath the Recreation Trail, rendering the trail inaccessible on both the north and south sides during the construction period. This significant undertaking is anticipated to last 1-2 weeks, weather permitting, with flagging operations in place to ensure safe traffic flows throughout the project duration. Once the work is completed, the Recreation Trail will be reopened in this area.
Recreational Pedestrian Bridge Replacement at Line 3
Niagara Parks will be replacing the pedestrian bridge along the Niagara River Recreation Trail at the intersection of Line 3 and the Niagara Parkway in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
On Thursday, December 14 and Friday, December 15, Niagara Parks will be closing a section of the Niagara Parkway at the intersection of Line 3 to accommodate this work. A hard closure will be in place for the two-day period and will require a detour around the area via Line 2, Line 4 and Concession 1. The road will reopen on Saturday, December 16.
As a self-financed agency of the Government of Ontario that does not receive taxpayer funding, Niagara Parks generates its own revenue to cover its operations and expenses, including infrastructure repairs. Each year, Niagara Parks invests a certain amount of its earned revenue to address a list of deferred maintenance across the 56-kilometre Niagara River corridor from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake, including repairs to roads, bridges, paths and sidewalks. This infrastructure project is part of the $1.3 million budgeted for improvements along the north Niagara Parkway for 2023-24.
