As part of the Region’s Ontario Street project, please be advised that the Ontario Street and King Street intersection will be closed to vehicle-turning traffic for completion of the final connection watermain installation in the intersection. The final connection will require two shutdowns in order to facilitate construction and keep water flowing to residents and businesses. Eastbound and westbound traffic along King Street will remain open with associated traffic control measures. Dates subject to change.
