Sections of Cavan and Walton Streets will be closed Thursday, as Port Hope looks to complete the final installation of the new watermain as part of the Walton Street reconstruction project. 

• Cavan Street (from south of the Cavan Street Parking Lot to Walton Street – Residents will maintain access to their properties).

• Walton Street (from Cavan Street to John Street).

• Brewery Lane closed to traffic, emergency access will be maintained.

Construction is expected to start at 7 AM with local water shut off occurring periodically throughout the day in the area. 

During the closure, Port Hope Transit Routes A and B will be detoured to avoid the construction zone:

• Route A will detour via Ontario Street, Barrett Street, Cavan Street, and South Street. No stops will be affected.

• Route B will detour north on Ontario Street and continue its regular route to Mill Street. (Stops B2, B3, and B4 will not be in service during the closure).

Town officials say the closures are expected to last one-to-two days.
