Quaker Road Sanitary Trunk Sewer Upgrade 

City of Welland and Town of Pelham 

Quaker Road Closure 

Project Description 

As part of the 2016 Wastewater Master Servicing Plan, the Town of Pelham has been identified as an area of significant growth. To support existing and future flows and system connectivity associated with growth, more trunk sewer capacity is required on Quaker Road. 

Niagara Region will be constructing a new sanitary trunk sewer along Quaker Road between Pelham Street and Rice Road in the City of Welland and Town of Pelham. The new 600mm sanitary trunk sewer was identified as a long-term system improvement, which provides sanitary sewer relief along Quaker Road connecting the Pelham Street Regional sanitary sewer to the outlet sewer east of Rice Road. This will provide adequate capacity for future sanitary flows. 

Town of Pelham 

• Local sanitary sewer replacement, which will also service new developments along the corridor 
• Watermain replacement 
• Corridor urbanization including storm sewers, curb and gutter, sidewalks and bike lanes. 

Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024 until Friday, March 1, 2024

Road Closure Information 

For road closure information, visit road closures in Niagara or Municipal511.ca for real-time information on closures and construction updates. Municipal511 shares road information that connects to Google Maps and Waze. It helps Niagara Region, local municipalities and the Ministry of Transportation better coordinate local construction projects to minimize traffic disruption. 

What to Expect 

During construction, expect dust, periodic noise, and road closures near construction activities with detour routes set up through nearby neighborhoods. Advance notice will be provided if access to your property or services will be interrupted. 

Working hours will typically fall between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. Some activities may require working hours outside of these times.
