Nickel Road in Thompson Closed July 6 for Curb Installation - AI Generated Image
Sections of Nickel Road in Thompson will be closed starting Sunday morning, July 6, 2025, as construction crews begin installing new curbs as part of the city’s 2025 road renewal project. Work is expected to begin around 7:00 a.m., and access to driveways in the affected area will be disrupted for up to 48 hours.
The City of Thompson is advising residents to follow all signs and flaggers, expect delays, and park vehicles on nearby side streets while the work is underway. Pedestrian access will be limited, and road access will reopen once the concrete has cured and work is complete.
Updates on construction progress and scheduling changes are available through the city’s Thompson Connect system. Residents can sign up at www.thompson.ca/p/connect or call Development & Technical Services at 204-677-7922 for more information.
