The City of Burlington will be replacing the elevator in the Waterfront Parking Garage at 414 Locust St. Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, and is expected to be completed by Thursday, Dec. 31, 2026.

The parking garage elevator is being replaced to improve reliability, safety and overall performance. During the construction period, elevator service to the parking levels will be out of service.

What to expect

• The elevator will be out of service throughout the project.
• Access to all parking levels will only be available by using the stairs.
• Construction-related noise and dust may be present in and around the elevator lobbies.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while these important upgrades are completed. Once the project is finished, the modernized elevator will provide improved reliability, enhanced ride quality and updated safety features for all users of the parking garage.
