The next phase of the twinning project will involve establishing the specific route in the designated route area, as well as determining drainage, structural, and illumination needs, and environmental assessments
THUNDER BAY - The twinning of Highway 11/17 between Thunder Bay and Kakabeka Falls is another step toward becoming a reality.
“From there it will go into a secondary or final design stage, that will include the cost estimates for the project moving forward. But this is a critical step forward in seeing that section twinned.” “Between Sistonens Corners and Shabaqua, if an accident occurs that shuts down the highway, which did occur a couple of times back in the 2000s that closed down the highway, there is no alternate route around that section of highway,” Holland said. “This will ensure flow of traffic continues.”
“Highway safety is always top of mind,” he said. “We want to make sure we are putting the process in place and moving forward on improving that safety. This will definitely address that as well as improve the flow of traffic and address the critical piece that there is no alternate route around that section.”
