The second phase of twinning Highway 17 west will be undergoing more scrutiny next month.
The Ministry of Transportation says it will be holding a public information center on July 4th.
The engineering firm being used for the route planning says it’s has a preferred option for the twinning.
It’s an 8.5 kilometer section between the intersection of Highway #673 and Rush Bay.
Right now WSP Canada says it’s would like to double-lane that section of the road.
Earlier this month, a group called Keep Highway 17 North, proposed an entirely new highway away from Highway 17 and create a new route north between Gundy Road and the Kenora By-Pass.
The Public Information Center will run from 4 pm until 8 pm at the Super 8.
