King Street West - Transportation Network Improvements

Improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers are planned for the King Street West area of Portsmouth. This includes roadway repaving, new multi-use pathways and connections to improve pedestrian safety, as well as transit improvements and intersection upgrades.

Currently, Utilities Kingston is completing a major upgrade to its Portsmouth Pumping Station and trunk watermain. Once that work is completed, the City will follow up with road repairs and upgrades.
