Many summer road repair and construction projects are wrapping up in North Bay.

The city’s Managing Director of Environmental Services and Works David Euler says they’re just completing a water main job on Lakeshore Drive near Banner and they’ve already started on another project.

“We’re installing a new 10 inch sanitary force main across Lakeshore Drive down Gertrude to Whitney. Later this fall we’ll be installing a new pumping station on Gertrude,” he says.

Road resurfacing work is also finishing up on Mountainview Drive and King Street, while crews are doing some patching repairs around the city and finishing a storm sewer project on Greenhill Avenue.

Euler says the Cedar Heights standpipe project will continue well into the fall.

As for next year, he says there will be plenty of resurfacing again, while the Seymour Street road construction project will take centre stage.

But, there’s another big project, as well.

“The other major project that will have an impact on traffic is the Cassells Street project. We’re currently working on the design details and we’re hoping to get it started first thing next spring,” Euler says.

He says the Seymour job which starts this fall won’t be finished until 2020.

Euler says there’ll be plenty of road resurfacing again next year.
