The closure is in the same area as an ongoing Niagara Region project involving the Catherine Street sewage pumping station, though the town has not said the two are connected.

A replacement is planned on an adjacent property at 263 Niagara Boulevard.
Fort Erie Radio has previously reported extensive archaeological work has been underway at the site since 2024.
According to Niagara Region, initial archaeological findings warranted a more detailed investigation, which is continuing this year in collaboration with Indigenous groups.
Drivers should plan to avoid the Catherine Street closure Tuesday while the work is underway.
