The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Essex County Detachment is working with our community partners to recognize there will be a large influx of visitors to the area on Monday, April 8, 2024. There will be a highly visible Police presence to ensure the safety of those in attendance and assist with traffic-related issues.
The OPP, along with the Municipality of Leamington, is urging all vehicle drivers to follow the rules of the road and be patient, as they may encounter heavier traffic than on a typical day. Operators should be aware of no parking signage and tow-away zones. There will be several road closures set in place to assist with traffic movement. The following road closure will begin at 8:00 AM on April 8.
- Seacliff Drive West at Forest Avenue
- Seacliff Drive East at Erie Street South
- Bruce Avenue at Cherry Lane
- Cherry Lane at Robson Road
- Donald Avenue at Robson Road
- Bruce Avenue at Robson Road
There will also be restricted road access to Point Pelee Drive from Mersea Road D, and Mersea Road E. Mersea Road C will also have restrictions at Mersea Road 19.
Access to the Pelee Island Ferry parking lot will be available to valid ticket holders only; however, parking spaces are limited. It is recommended to take LT-Go Transit to the Ferry docks and give yourself plenty of time to board the ferry, more than the usual one-hour time frame.
