    Mayor Jim Parsons says there is a delay in this project as a result of unforeseen circumstances, namely rocks and some things take extra time.

    There are still road closures taking place on Curling Street as part of a large project to replace a retaining wall near the War Memorial. On Bayfm with Lenny Benoit, Mayor Jim Parsons says there is a delay in this project as a result of unforeseen circumstances, namely rocks and some things take extra time. Parsons says it is frustrating for businesses and motorists but is a necessary project. The next big project to start in Corner Brook is the Deep Gulch Project in the University Drive area. Parsons says it’s estimated to cost about half a million dollars.
