The City of Thunder Bay is advising travelers that a section of Oliver Road will be closed to westbound traffic between August 24 and August 28.

Westbound lanes on Oliver Road will be closed between Ray Boulevard and Enniskillen Avenue starting on Monday, August 24. Sidewalks on the north side of Oliver Road between Dalton Avenue and Enniskillen Avenue will be closed during this time. Pedestrian access remains available through sidewalks on the south side of Oliver Road.

This closure will allow for replacement of the existing storm sewer on McBean Street to provide additional capacity, part of the City’s work to modernize Thunder Bay’s infrastructure.

During the closure, westbound traffic will be routed around the construction zone via Ray Boulevard, John Street, and Balmoral Street. Westbound traffic will be reinstated by end of day on Friday, August 28.

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