Local Infrastructure Improvements for North Bay and Region
The new Ontario government is investing just over $8 million to support improvements to critical infrastructure in the North Bay area and surrounding region.
The province is supporting these improvements through the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy, which is providing $90 million over the next three years to help municipalities across the province build and maintain key infrastructure.
Local projects include:
• replacing the Borgford Bridge in Kerns Township
• repairing the Pontleroy Creek Bridge in Brethour Township
• replacing water mains and sewers on Latchford and Probyn streets in Temiskaming Shores
• upgrades to the Field Sewage Treatment Plant in West Nipissing
• replacing the Wilson Lake Road Bridge in Temagami
• reconstruction of Chiswick Line in Chisholm Township
• rehabilitating Murphy Road Bridge in Mattawan Township
• replacing manholes to reduce infiltration in the wastewater system in Moosonee
Building on the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy, the province is providing an additional $100 million to help small and rural municipalities build and maintain roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. A consultation involving local and regional rural officials was held in North Bay today to discuss the fund's scope and design.
Investing in infrastructure is part of the government's plan to create jobs, build stronger communities and help people in their everyday lives.
