The highway on Warren Grove Road will become safer and more reliable, and a new water tower will be built in Cornwall, thanks to a combined investment of more than $6.5 million from the governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island, and the Town of Cornwall. Announced by Member of Parliament Heath MacDonald, Minister Ernie Hudson, Councillor Elaine Barnes, and Mayor Laurie Turner, this investment will ensure safer and more reliable infrastructure, and provide a better quality of life for the residents.
Highway improvements on Warren Grove Road near Cornwall included the replacement of a culvert structure with a new bridge crossing over a branch of the North River. The project included new asphalt pavement with widened shoulders for active transportation. As a result, Route 248 is a safer commute and more reliable road for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
The new water tower in Cornwall will increase the town's water storage capacity and provide a backup water supply in case of emergency. The project includes the construction of a new water tank, all necessary piping and concrete base for the tank. This water tower will allow the town to expand the capacity and sustainability of the water system and provide sufficient water pressure to Cornwall residents.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
