Work is underway near an Elections Ontario polling station for the Thunder Bay-Superior North riding after a water main break earlier this week.
Crews working on a water main break on Fort William Road outside Roots Community Food Centre, where one of the polling stations is located. Crews with the City of Thunder Bay have identified the location of a water main leak after days of work on Fort William Road.
Warwick said Fort William Road near First Avenue will remain reduced to one lane in each direction, however, access to the polling station at Root Community Food Centre is available. The hope is to get as much work done in the area before the city is hit with 15 to 25 cm of snow set to arrive by Thursday evening."I'm really hoping that we can figure out what the issue is and get repairs done today. After that we'll have to work at putting the road back together. There was also some damage that we found to a 48 inch storm sewer that we're gonna have to repair before we can open the road back up," said Warwick.
