When it comes to the City's two Major summer road infrastructure projects; One down, one to go

It's been a summer of infrastructure challenges for the
City of Prince Rupert

Motorists along the McBride/First Avenue roadways can finally make use of all the travel space of the city's roads, that after the City's Public Works Department put the finishing touches on a lengthy bit of infrastructure repair underneath the pavement of the downtown core near the Court House.

The work came to an end late last week with paving the final bit or repair to take place before the roadway was reopened to the public after a period of just under two months.

Before and After work on infrastructure issues below McBride St.

And while the City can celebrate the wrap on that project, as we outlined earlier this month, the other long running repair work at the Intersection of Fulton and Sixth Avenue West seems destined to carry on for a period of time yet.

The intersection work at Fulton and Sixth will continue
on into September and beyond

Over the course of the last few weeks the city has dug up significantly more roadway than it has repaired at the Fulton location, advising the public that the work on that particular infrastructure issue may be a bit more of a long term one.

Those who manage to navigate the off road like course set up around the Fulton intersection however aren't quite out of the woods on their travels. 

Just a few blocks west of that site the road again poses challenges with some suspension testing holes in the road along Summit, those however seem soon to be addressed as the city's summer paving program moves into the home stretch into September.
