Ontario upgrading roadways at the Gateway to the Ring of Fire – ReNew Canada

September 11, 2025

The Government of Ontario is investing $61.8 million in Geraldton’s Main Street Rehabilitation Project, a critical road infrastructure project in Greenstone that will be the gateway to the Ring of Fire.

“This is more than a roadworks project — it’s a signal that Geraldton is a gateway to one of Ontario’s greatest assets in the face of economic threats from the United States, and that our government is serious about supporting the communities that anchor the North,” said Greg Rickford, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and First Nations Economic Reconciliation and Minister Responsible for Ring of Fire Economic and Community Partnerships. “With First Nations and communities as integral leaders in these projects, our government is ensuring partnerships remain a central piece of our commitment to unlocking the Ring of Fire and building infrastructure that delivers prosperity for Northern and First Nations communities, for generations to come.”

The project will connect Highway 11 at the south end to Highway 584 at the north, ultimately connecting the Trans-Canada, and will be the first segment on the road network to the Ring of Fire. Improved road access between Northern communities and to the provincial highway network will also help people access goods and services, including education, health care and housing, and lay the groundwork for future growth in the Greenstone region.
