The City of Port Colborne has announced that the intersection of Killaly Street East and Welland Street will be closed to traffic from April 6 to April 17, 2026. The closure is required to accommodate necessary upgrades at the nearby regional sanitary sewer pumping station.
Drivers in the area should prepare for disruptions and plan their travel accordingly. To help manage traffic flow, the city will have detour signage posted to guide motorists safely around the construction zone during the 12-day period.
This work is part of ongoing efforts by the city and the Niagara Region to maintain and improve wastewater infrastructure. The intersection is located within the Clarke Area, which was identified in a 2007 study as a priority zone for addressing sewer system issues. Ensuring the reliability of the sewer system remains a focus for local leaders, with the 2026 budget allocating $1.95 million for engineering designs related to wastewater projects.
Residents with questions regarding the road closure can reach out to the Port Colborne Public Works Department at 905-835-2900.
