Portage Underpass Opening This Week

The town of Fort Frances says the Portage Avenue underpass will open to traffic on Thursday.

Officials says there will be one lane of traffic opened that day with both lanes opening on Friday.

The underpass will be completely closed to traffic until then as paving of the roadway resumes.

The project is now into its 8th week, but officials says Friday's opening is 7 weeks ahead of initial forecasts.
