James Street Bridge Saga Continues

The City of Thunder Bay continues to wait for a response from CN Rail about the James Street Bridge.

Officials has been trying to get an answer from the railway ever since a court ruling stating CN is responsible for maintaining the bridge.

City Manager Norm Gale confirms they have reached out to the railway regarding the James Street Bridge and have told CN “the critical importance to the City and to Fort William First Nation to have the bridge reopened to vehicular traffic”

The city also wants CN to “provide a definitive timeline as to when repairs will be effected to the bridge, and when CN expects the bridge to be reopened.”

The city manager tells us they expect to receive an answer from CN by Monday.

CN has not responded to our request for a comment.
