Mayor Dennis Fenske recently spoke to 102.9 CTHM about the Selkirk Drive construction project and said that even though it’s frustrating sometimes, construction is a good thing for Thompson.

He said that it shows that there is an investment in Thompson which means improvement for the community. He added that the project is going to cost between $1,500,000.00 and $3,000.000.00.

Fenske added that the City is asking for everyone’s patience while the construction is taking place, and to be safe as there are large construction vehicles moving around the area.

The Mayor gave an update on the work being done, saying that they’re finishing up excavating down a few feet, and that the next step is going to be to build the road back up. The final step will be for the asphalt company to come and surface the road.

Fenske added that Selkirk Drive should be done by next month, and next years’ work will be on Station Road from Mystery Lake to Nelson Road.
