The Queenston boat launch has been off limits to users this week as Niagara Parks is rehabilitating the facility.

Construction on a new dock system at the boat launch property along the north Niagara Parkway and lower Niagara River began Monday and is expected to be completed by Friday, April 26.

Enhancements to the dock will include repairs to the concrete docking area, an extension of the concrete sidewalk adjacent to the dock, as well as the installation of a new custom docking system designed to move with the levels of the river.

The work should be completed by the end of Friday with the launch reopening to boaters in time for the weekend.
