The County of Prince Edward strongly recommends drivers use alternative detour routes around the road closure on Wellington Main Street whenever possible.
- To limit further wear and tear on the main detour roads, the municipality encourages drivers to use Danforth Road and Consecon Street or County Road 1 and County Road 2/Belleville Street.
- The main detour route around the closure — Loyalist Parkway, Greer Road, Danforth Road, and Consecon Street — remains in effect.
- As temperatures continue to fluctuate, the freeze-thaw cycle is taking a toll on many of the municipality’s roadways, including Greer Road which is part of the main detour route.
- The freeze-thaw cycle is leading to an increase in potholes, cracks, and other road defects.
- Wellington Main Street between Cleminson Street and the entrance to the treatment plants is closed to vehicle traffic at all times. A full closure on Wellington Main Street cannot be avoided because the existing sanitary sewer and watermains are located within the road.
- The municipality has doubled production on the project with two 12-hour shifts five days a week. This change will allow Wellington Main Street to reopen to traffic six to seven weeks earlier than previously anticipated. Click here to learn more about the accelerated schedule.
- Wellington businesses remain open during the road closure.
