Portage Avenue Re-opening Delayed


A need for additional work is delaying the re-opening of the Portage Avenue underpass by more than a week.

Fort Frances town officials says work crews need to install a storm sewer manhole at the intersection of Portage and 3rd Street.

Officials says records had indicated the presence of the manhole, but was found to be missing when crews started digging up the road this past week.

Work on the two intersections blocking the underpass is now expected to be completed by May 29.
