Second Line and Great Northern Road Traffic Study
The City of Sault Ste. Marie has initiated a traffic study to investigate alternatives to address traffic congestion in the area around the Second Line/Great Northern Road intersection. The study area is shown on the key map.
A traffic operations review determined that the current poor traffic conditions including heavy congestion and delays in the vicinity of Second Line and Great Northern Road will continue to worsen in the future as more development occurs in the City. Additionally, the intersection of Old Garden River Road and Second Line presents difficulty for left-turning traffic due to the skew of the intersection.
The study is being undertaken to review potential solutions to improve the traffic operations of the Second Line and Great Northern Road intersection as well as improve the skewed intersection of Second Line and Old Garden River Road. Preceding any decisions recommending or accepting a preferred solution, interested parties will have the opportunity to review the study findings and provide input and comments.
