Lakeshore Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Old Town is getting a big facelift from Niagara Region — to the tune of $632,000.
Niagara Region began paving a 1.4-kilometre stretch of the roads on Sept. 11, with some disruption expected for drivers.
The work is expected to continue until Sept. 30, to be funded by the region’s 2025 annual road strengthening and resurfacing program.
“The purpose of this project is to remove (mill) 50 millimetres of top asphalt off the surface of the road,” said Michael Kowalczyk, a project manager with Niagara Region.
Kowalczyk said the region’s roads are inspected every year.
“This stretch of Regional Road 87 was first identified as a candidate for resurfacing in 2019 and was scheduled for work this year.”
The construction area runs along Lakeshore Road/Mary Street, from Garrison Village Drive to Mississagua Street.
