THUNDER BAY – Finding worse-than-expected damage, the City of Thunder Bay will need to fully replace a collapsed culvert that’s kept River Street closed for months.
The failure of one side of the twin culvert that carries McVicar Creek beneath the artery caused a large sinkhole to develop on River Street on May 5, following a period of heavy rain and spring flooding. An inspection on July 26 found the failed pipe had continued to collapse and lost confining pressure, dashing those hopes, engineering staff reported.
The step isn’t estimated to raise costs beyond the $2.5 million already approved by council for the project, but it will extend the construction timeline thanks to expanded excavation and backfilling work, said project engineer Mike Vogrig.
