Beginning Tuesday, May 20, MacDonell Street will be closed between Central Avenue and Squier Street to allow for essential road and sewer infrastructure improvements.

The closure is necessary to complete the installation of a storm sewer system, as well as curb and gutter work, followed by asphalt paving. The project is expected to take approximately fourteen weeks to complete, weather permitting.

During construction, local traffic will be permitted to access businesses within the closure area.

Motorists are reminded to drive with caution near the construction zone for everyone’s safety. 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 an issue, contact the City’s Infrastructure & Operations Dispatch at 807-625-2195.
