A popular section of the Harmony Trail in Oshawa is closed until further notice due to flooding caused by recent heavy rain and melting snow. The closure affects the path from King Street East to Adelaide Avenue East, where rising water levels have submerged several underpasses.
The City of Oshawa reported that the flooding stems from rainfall on Sunday combined with warm overnight temperatures that increased flow along Harmony Creek. As a result, the underpasses at King Street, Bond Street, and Adelaide Street are currently underwater. The city has also closed the Renaissance Park playground due to significant ponding water.
Beyond the Harmony Trail, other local paths are experiencing disruptions. The Oshawa Trail is currently closed from Sinclair Avenue to the Gibb Street rail underpass. These areas are historically prone to seasonal flooding, and officials note that reopening the trails will depend on improvements in both weather and creek conditions.
For those looking for updates on these closures, residents can contact Service Oshawa by email or by calling 905-436-3311. Users are encouraged to seek alternate routes while the city monitors the situation.
