Crews have begun roadwork on Niagara Stone Road, between Hunter and Niven roads, to widen the road near the newly built Stone Eagle Winery.
The project, which started April 22 and is expected to be completed before the end of May, will see the road widened in that particular section, between Hunter and Niven, as part of the development of the winery at 2080 Niagara Stone Rd., said Marah Minor, the town’s communications co-ordinator, in an email to The Lake Report.
In the meantime, crews are keeping two lanes of traffic open for motor vehicles to pass.
While the Niagara Region authorized the project, contractor Rankin Construction is in charge of the roadwork, said Minor.
There is no public information available at this time about who is paying for the road construction.
The main access to the estate winery will be at Niagara Stone Road, while there will also be a driveway from Niven Road for staff parking and the loading dock area, according to a 2023 report from town staff and a 2021 report from NPG Planning Solutions for the town.
