Road closure in Burlington to protect endangered salamander

The City of Burlington will be closing King Road from the base of the Niagara Escarpment to Mountain Brow Road March 15 to April 6 to allow the endangered Jefferson Salamander safe passage during its annual breeding migration.

The Jefferson Salamander is a nationally and provincially protected endangered species. Each year, since 2012 the City of Burlington has closed the same section of road for an approximate three-week period.
