Improving safety, supporting community: Temporary closures to Barton Street East for watermain maintenance

HAMILTON, ON – The City of Hamilton is advising residents of a temporary road closure on Barton Street East to repair a critical piece of the City’s water infrastructure. 

Through proactive monitoring and advanced leak detection technology, the City has identified a significant watermain leak beneath a CP rail track. It is important that this issue is addressed promptly to prevent any impact on the safety and operation of the rail line and water services.

Although necessary, we understand that road closures can be disruptive, and we appreciate your patience as we work to provide long-term improvements to Hamilton’s infrastructure and community.
