Sections of the main corridor in St. Thomas will be ripped up for months from March to October, and many businesses located downtown are not happy with the timing.
LONDON, ONT As the city of St. Thomas expands there is a need for major infrastructure changes. City council approved its 2021 budget Jan. 4, and that included a massive overhaul to Fairview Ave. The primary reason the road needs to be reconstructed to improve traffic capacity on the corridor, and improve aging underground infrastructure, says project manager Patrick Anckaert, manager of Capital Works for the city of St. Thomas. This is the largest capital project we have. We ve budgeted $10.8M dollars for it. Anckaert says the project is 1.6 km, spanning from Elm St. to Southdale Line. It will move from a rural two-lane to urban three-lane cross-section.
