Highway Work Underway

The province hopes to create nearly five-thousand jobs across northern Ontario with $648 million dollars in road and highway projects.

Among projects taking place in the Rainy River district include the third phase of rehabilitation of the Noden Causeway.

Work on 21 kilometres of Highway 11, east of Fort Frances and another 15 kilometres near Atikokan are already taking place.

A 24 kilometre stretch of Highway 71 from the Highway 11 junction and 18 kilometres of Highway 502 from Highway 11 will also receive upgrades.
