Temporary Road Closure Scheduled at Dufferin Islands
  • Road closure planned in popular nature area on July 10 to facilitate electrical upgrade 

Niagara Falls, ON—Following the recent completion of asphalt resurfacing in the Dufferin Islands nature area, work crews will mobilize again on Thursday, July 10 from 7:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., to install a new electrical transformer.
 

Traffic Considerations   


Please note that motorists will not have access to Dufferin Islands during this time, including access via Burning Springs Hill, which will be closed at Portage Road. The interior walking trails and pedestrian bridges will remain open, allowing foot traffic to continue moving through the area. While the road closure is in effect, guests are asked to take caution and avoid entering the designated work zone. 

Visitors who wish to access the nature area during construction may park at the nearby Rapidsview Parking Lot or Floral Showhouse Parking Lot and either walk or take the WEGO bus to the site. 

All Public Notices, along with information about ongoing construction projects, are available on Niagara Parks’ Repairs and Maintenance webpage here.
