King Road closed to protect endangered salamander annual migration
Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2025 09:30 AM
Burlington, Ont.— March 5, 2025— Spring is around the corner and it’s time for the annual migration of a local and beloved endangered species in Burlington. On Wednesday, March 12, the City will close a section of King Road to allow for Jefferson salamanders’ breeding migration. King Road, from North Service Road to Mountain Brow Road, will be closed so the salamanders can cross the road safely in their search to find a mate. Local traffic for all properties between North Service Road and the escarpment will be maintained. King Road will reopen for through traffic on Wednesday, April 9, when the salamanders are predicted to finish their annual crossing.
Since 2012, the City of Burlington has partnered with Conservation Halton to protect the Jefferson salamanders by closing this section of road to allow the salamanders to safely cross. They are a nationally and provincially protected endangered species.
