WHAT: Queen Street, from King Street to Victoria Street, will be temporarily closed to support the Niagara-on-the-Lake Icewine Festival, flowing west from King Street toward Victoria Street. Full road closures will occur at the intersections of Queen Street and Regent Street, Queen Street and King Street, and Queen Street and Victoria Street.
On non-event days, the north lane will be open to accommodate one-way traffic, flowing west from King Street toward Regent Street.
When the north lane is open, barricades will be used to manage traffic flow and maintain separation between vehicles and the event area.
