The City of Thunder Bay is advising the public that Cornwall Avenue, between Banning Street and Crown Street, will be limited to local traffic only as infrastructure work is carried out in the adjacent back lane.

The work is expected to take approximately six weeks and includes:

  • Installation of new catch basin leads
  • Watermain looping and tie-in to the existing main on Cornwall Avenue
  • Construction of new retaining walls

All construction activity will take place in the back lane, which will be fully closed for the duration of the project. No major detours are planned. Cornwall Avenue will remain open to local traffic only between Banning Street and Crown Street.

Residents and road users are asked to drive with caution in the area and follow posted signage.

The City appreciates the public’s cooperation and patience as we complete these important infrastructure improvements.
