Some fencing has been removed around Sarnia's new Centennial Park boat ramp, in anticipation of work expected to get underway this week.
Chief Administrative Officer Margaret Misek-Evans says contractors will be moving some heavy equipment in.
"They'll be looking to do some concrete work, pouring the fixed wharfs and also between the concrete slabs," says Misek-Evans. "It's all of course weather dependent, but we've been fortunate so far."
The city hopes the new ramp is operational for the 42nd annual salmon derby which runs April 27 to May 6.
"Essentially it's on schedule and the installation is going well. The cold was good. When we had those mild spells, that put a bit of a drag on the project, but they've recovered and they're on schedule."
Until the new ramp at Sarnia Bay Marina is operational, area boaters are being accommodated at the Bridgeview Marina boat ramp.
