The old North River Rink is slated for demolition as further improvements are planned by the province for the area of the new roundabout.
The province has purchased the old rink property, and a new access road to the York Point Road will be built.
Transportation officials say one main reason for this new access road is to make it easier and faster for the North River Fire Department to get onto the road as it responds to emergency calls.
Demolition will take place in the fall with the new road being in place by the end of the year.
