Project overview

The Four Mile Pond Culvert is in Niagara-on-the-Lake on Lakeshore Road (Regional Road 87), about 750 metres east of Four Mile Creek Road. The culvert lets water from a small stream connected to Four Mile Pond (also called Three Mile Creek) flow under Lakeshore Road. It was built in 1920.

The existing structure is a two-span reinforced concrete rigid frame. It spans about 5.6 metres.

A full replacement is recommended because the structure is in poor condition.

The road over this structure will be widened to add wider paved and granular shoulders.

Construction

The construction is expected to include a full road closure and a signed detour. Timing and length are still to be determined. We will notify the public of any impacts on vehicle and pedestrian traffic as the project moves forward.

Property acquisitions are not expected. If the project affects private property, a team member will contact the owners directly.
