From the Beehive E90- Farewell to the Fairview Avenue Bridge

Mike from St. Thomas Economic Development is back with another quick update about what you can anticipate about "construction season", or Spring in St. Thomas.

We take a look at the history and future of the Fairview Avenue Bridge — a structure that’s stood for nearly 50 years. Originally built over a now-removed railway, the bridge has become outdated and in need of repair, but also unnecessary. Starting this June, it will be removed for safer, more efficient road improvements.

👷‍♂️ What’s coming next?
✔️Improved sightlines with a new grade-level intersection
✔️Added left-turn lanes for both directions on Fairview Avenue
✔️A sneak peek at exciting upcoming changes to Talbot Street in 2026
✔️​Public input opportunities for Fairview Ave from Elm to Talbot

We also touch on how this project fits in with the broader infrastructure updates happening across the city — and don’t worry, north- south routes won’t be under construction simultaneously!

🖼️ Bonus: If you’re a fan of local street art, now’s your chance to check out the graffiti under the bridge before it’s gone!

📌 Stay informed on all the latest developments and information about public input opportunities.
