en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ontario government has allocated $81.3 million to launch the Geraldton Main Street Rehabilitation Project, connecting Highway 11 in the south with Highway 584 in the north and providing access to the Trans-Canada Highway.

The project is located in the Municipality of Greenstone, Ontario, and the construction contract has been awarded to the Indigenous-owned joint venture Pioneer/Minodahmun Development LP.

The rehabilitation aims to support future road construction in the region, helping to connect northern communities and remote Indigenous communities, enabling them to access essential goods and services, education, and healthcare.

Greg Rickford, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Indigenous Economic Reconciliation, stated in a press release that the significance of the Geraldton Main Street rehabilitation goes beyond rebuilding a road; it is about building a "Corridor to Prosperity," where Indigenous and northern communities are indispensable leaders and partners in the process.

Ontario plans to accelerate the construction of over 500 kilometers of all-season roads leading to the proposed Eagle's Nest mining area, with the goal of accessing the "Ring of Fire" by 2031, five years ahead of the original schedule. This region, rich in critical minerals, is located approximately 500 kilometers northeast of Thunder Bay and covers an area of about 8,000 square kilometers.
