Work continues for the replacement of the Port Hood Wastewater Lift Station in Port Hood

Jun 20, 2026 | Local News

Work continues on the replacement of the Port Hood Wastewater Lift Station, located at the corner of Main St. and Convent St., Port Hood.

Over the past two weeks, crews have excavated trenches, assembled and installed piping, and connected the new infrastructure to the lift station system. This phase of the project is anticipated to be completed next week. Once this work is finished, the roadway will be graded and the area cleaned up.

Construction activities will then shift back to the lift station site.

Intermittent traffic control measures will remain in place on a portion of Main St. (in front of 375 Main St.), reducing traffic to a single lane for the duration of the project.

Motorists can expect minimal delays; however, they are encouraged to allow extra travel time when travelling through the area. Should the project schedule require additional time, an update will be provided.
