City_of_Timmins-logoIf you’re headed to or from the west end of town, be aware of repairs on the latest water main break.

The city says a break has taken place at approximately 11pm Wednesday night on Riverside Drive, West bound direction, curb lane across from McBride Street (just west of the Timmins Square).

Crews will be starting repairs of the water main this morning and we are estimating repairs to be done early evening.

The 4 lane traffic will reduced to 2 lane traffic [single lane traffic in either direction]

The repair area may have to remain closed off for a short period of time until contractor supported paving crews deploy required crews.

Heavy Truck Traffic: traffic is moving in both directions on Riverside.

The city says they expect to finish off the repairs and open the highway around 6:00pm Friday.
