Road Closure - Walton Street
Update - Wednesday, May 10, 2023
Work is progressing well on the final elements of Phase one of the Walton Street Reconstruction. Due to the recent inclement weather and other factors out of our control, the closure of Walton Street has been extended to May 19, 2023. We apologize for the delay and are working hard to complete this phase of the project. If work is completed in advance of the target date, the road will be opened accordingly.
Residents are advised that Walton Street (From Church Street to Pine Street) will be closed from April 24 until May 12. This closure will allow the contractor to complete the final layer of asphalt on the road and the correction of any deficiencies. This work will mark the completion of Phase 1 of the Walton Street Reconstruction.
Please note that Transit Route A will be affected by this closure. The bus will turn north on Pine Street, continue west onto Bruton Street and tie back into Julia Street. For more information and a look at our interactive transit map, visit porthope.ca/transit.
We appreciate your patience as we complete Phase 1 of the Walton Street Reconstruction Project. This work is imperative to improve our ageing infrastructure and a great investment in the future of our Downtown.
