Thunder Bay – The Waterfront District BIA advises, that Red River Road will be closed to vehicular traffic from Court Street to St. Paul Street (Cumberland intersection) starting Tuesday, July 2nd.
This closure is necessary to advance construction and drill into the bedrock as part of the underground infrastructure replacement project.
It is understood this full closure is sooner than expected, but pre-drilling holes for light posts into the Canadian Shield rock is essential to keep the project moving forward.
Sidewalks will remain open for pedestrian access to all businesses.
Remember please that locally owned businesses, like The Vault, Goods n Co, 3Ride, The Sugar Shack, and the multitude of restaurants along Red River Road are open and happy to serve you.
Please direct customers and clients driving down Red River Road to Cooke Street from Court Street for access to St. Paul Street. Those entering the area from Water Street can use Park Avenue or Camelot Street to reach the area. We will update you on any further access adjustments as the project progresses.
