Head Street Picton closure April 23-24 to install new fuel dock

A section of Head Street in Picton will be closed Thursday, April 23 through Friday, April 24 during the installation of the new fuel dock – a change from the original plan of April 21-22.

The closure will affect most of the property located at 1 Head Street. On‑site parking for trailers and vehicles will not be permitted and the boat launch will be inaccessible.

Pedestrian access may be temporarily disrupted, particularly for those using the boardwalk and the waterfront pathway. The municipality states it will make every effort to maintain safe pedestrian access around the work area.

This installation is part of ongoing preparations for the 2026 boating season. The Picton Marina will offer fuel, pump-outs, and docking as of Saturday, May 2. The marina will be open daily from 8 am to 6:30 pm. Staff training will take place on Friday, May 1 and limited services such as fuel and pump-outs will be available at this time.

County staff will begin installing the boat launch docks at each of the municipal boat launch areas in early May. The launch docks at Centennial Park, Wellers Bay, Big Island, Wellington Beach and Picton Marina will be available as of Saturday, May 2 while the remaining docks will be in place in time for the long weekend in May.
