New pavement leads the way up and down Fulton Street as the 
City of Prince Rupert reopens the main artery into the downtown core

Some good news for motorists who have had to find some work arounds of late for their travels with two lengthy projects finally reaching the road reopening stage of their progress.

For those who use Fulton Street to access the downtown core, that major approach to the core is now reopened, with the final bit of paving taking place yesterday following extensive BC Hydro work through July and August.

Closed since December owing to water infrastructure work, First
Avenue East is now reopened from Mariner's park to Third East

Also now back in service for travellers is First Avenue East from Third East to Mariner's Park, that are which had been closed to traffic since December's Local State of Emergency saw it's final bit of paving take place earlier this week.

There is however, still some work to be done on the stretch between Broadwater and Seaport, which has been identified in a report by the City as a spot for angle parking and a staircase to connect the Cow Bay lot below with the new parking on the bluff above.
