THUNDER BAY — The finish line appears to be within reach for a project that has kept one of Thunder Bay’s major arterial routes closed for well over a year, frustrating area residents and thousands of motorists.
Now completion is in sight, with workers preparing to install a watermain and pour concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks next week, said Mike Vogrig, a project engineer with the city. “After we got the structural backfill done on the culvert, things slowed down on site for one reason or another,” he said. “Now things are picked up and going strong again, so that’s good. It’s too bad we lost a couple of weeks, though.”He acknowledged overall delays to the contract, which had an official completion date in July that was later extended into August.
The project had required steps like removing sanitary sewer pipes that had been supported by the culvert, installing a trench box to protect utilities, and building a coffer dam while pouring concrete footings to respect restrictions to in-water work related to fish populations.
