Lane reductions will be in place on Arthur Street West between Highway 61 and Parkdale Boulevard starting on Monday, May 11, as the City of Thunder Bay carries out resurfacing work.

At least one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction during the work, which is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete, depending on weather conditions. Sidewalk access will not be impacted.

The work includes partial-depth removal of existing asphalt and re-paving with two new lifts of asphalt.

For everyone’s safety, motorists are reminded to expect traffic delays in the area and to drive with caution near construction zones. The City thanks residents and businesses for their patience and understanding as we work to improve Thunder Bay’s infrastructure.

For more information or to report a problem, contact the City’s 24/7 Dispatch line at 807-625-2195.
