Good news for St. Thomas drivers—First Avenue is opening ahead of schedule.
The City of St. Thomas says construction between Wellington Street and Steele Street has wrapping up today (June 4th), and the road has reopened this afternoon.
The project marked Phase 2 of a major trunk sewer replacement, aimed at expanding underground infrastructure to support the city’s continued growth.
Phase 1, from Talbot to Steele was completed in 2017.
This latest phase involved upgrading the existing sanitary sewer to provide additional sewer capacity to accommodate anticipated flows from the Industrial Development during the interim critical period, prior to the commissioning of the new sewage treatment plant.
The City is thanking Cassidy Construction for completing the work earlier than expected, and residents for their patience during the detours.
