Piers below the Burlington Lift Bridge closed to pedestrians

HAMILTON, ON – May 25, 2017 - In the interest of public safety, access to the piers below the Burlington Lift Bridge has been fenced off. Extremely high water levels and wind have created a safety hazard in the area with waves submerging the concrete piers and producing very slippery and potentially dangerous conditions.

The Breezeway Trail leading to the piers on the Hamilton side remains open.

Residents are reminded to be cautious around all bodies of water, and be aware of possible hazards caused by rain and winds.
