Update:
City spokesman David Euler, Managing Director of Engineering, Environmental Services & Public Works, in an email to BayToday earlier this month:
"The anticipated tender date for the Seymour intersection work approximately mid-August 2017 and we would expect work to be completed by Dec 2018. Total estimated pre-tender construction cost is $4,900,000. This is a shared project with the MTO and at this point the estimated cost sharing is about 57% City of North Bay and 45% MTO."

Rehabilitation of the Trout Lake Road overpass is expected to start at the beginning of June and be completed by the end of November. The project also consists of repaving Trout Lake Road from Giroux to Mountainview Drive.
Due to the nature of the work, traffic will be impacted however the overpass will remain open to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The overpass will be reduced to two lanes of traffic (one lane in each direction) and pedestrians using the sidewalk will be redirected according to the staged works.
The multiuse pathway beneath the overpass is anticipated to remain open for the majority of the duration of the project. The pathway may however be closed and the users detoured if public safety is determined to be a concern.
The contractor will try to limit the extent of noise and other construction inconveniences during this project. There will be a City inspector available onsite for the duration of the project.
