North Core Street Scape Project

The City of Thunder Bay is embarking on a once-in-a-generation project to redesign the streets in the North Core/Waterfront District area. This opportunity exists because the watermains and sewers below the street are at the end of their useful life and need to be replaced; work which will require the excavation of the streets from storefront to storefront.

BUSINESSES IN THE AREA ARE OPEN DURING CONSTRUCTION
