A number of construction projects are moving ahead this summer in Greater Sudbury.
A number of construction projects are moving ahead this summer in Greater Sudbury.
David Shelsted, the city’s director of engineering services, said there are 40 active contracts for construction projects.
"Some of those will be happening at our water/wastewater treatments plant, including our roadways and fixing our water and wastewater pipes," Shelsted said.
He said, on average, the city spends $70 million to $80 million on construction projects annually and expects to hit that benchmark this year.
Shelsted said the number of construction projects is fairly normal, but it can seem busier depending on a person's travel routes.
He said officials take high-traffic areas into consideration when choosing where to start a project.
"We're doing a lot of work on Paris Street, so we try to minimize the work we do on Regent knowing that’s the major route to those travelling in the South End," he said.
