Lane Reductions Start This Week Along Hwy. 101 E. 
Traffic controls and site mobilization will begin this week along Hwy. 101 E. between Crawford St. and the Porcupine Mall. Motorists should be prepared for lane reductions and reduced speeds when travelling through active work zones.

This is year two of the 2-year project to reconstruct the highway heading eastbound to the Porcupine River Bridge. Construction is anticipated to be completed this fall.

Segment 13 of the Connecting Link project includes full asphalt restoration, drainage improvements, street lights, and traffic signal upgrades. A larger watermain is also being installed to increase capacity in the City’s water distribution system. The new sidewalk between Crawford St. and the Porcupine Mall will be added this summer to improve safety and walkability along the busy corridor.

Like last year, this year’s construction will require lane reductions only. During the first phase of work, traffic will be shifted to the SOUTH side of the highway. Motorists should expect minor delays. Access to the Porcupine Mall and all businesses on the north side of Hwy. 101 E. will be maintained.

Residents can expect regular construction updates as work progresses. For more information on the Connecting Link, visit: https://timmins.hosted.civiclive.com/our_services/engineering/connecting_links/2025-2026_-_segment_13.
