Hwy 11/17 and Seymour Street Intersection Reconstruction

North Bay, ON – April 16, 2020 –The City of North Bay is advising travellers of potential traffic disruptions in the coming weeks as the reconstruction of the Highway 11/17 and Seymour Street intersection ramps up.

Some disruptions associated with the project are still anticipated despite reduced traffic related to the province's state of emergency. Blasting and storm sewer construction will take place between 7 am and 7 pm, resulting in the temporary closing of the northbound east through lane and the northbound right turn ramp. Right turns are permitted at the intersection. This work schedule will be reviewed and revised as required on an ongoing basis.

Travellers should consider adding extra time to their schedule when using this intersection or take an alternate route as follows:

• vehicles travelling northbound on King’s Hwy No 17, detour onto Hwy 94 towards Callander and then north to Lakeshore Drive and then using the City’s road network, get to their destination; or
• vehicles travelling northbound on King’s Hwy No 17, stay on the inside lane and travel south on King’s Hwy No 11 at the over pass to Lakeshore Drive and then using the City’s road network, get to their destination;
• vehicles travelling northbound on King’s Hwy No. 11, should take the off ramp at Lakeshore Drive and then using the City’s road network, get to their destination
• vehicles travelling southbound should take any of the arterial roads connected to Hwy 11/17 and using the City’s road network make their way to either  King’s Hwy No. 11 or King’s Hwy No. 17

The City of North Bay, MTO and Contractor are aware of and appreciate the need to maintain traffic through the Hwy 11/17 and Seymour Street corridors but the necessary work must be completed responsibly and safely at all times.
