Correct sentence?

I had to cancel the program; if it continued, it would create a huge problem.

  

Top answer

Yes. But a semi-colon leaves the reader trying to work out your implied meaning. It would be clearer if you said eg I had to cancel the program because if it continued, it would create a huge problem.
