Repairs and upgrades are coming to highways and roads across Newfoundland and Labrador, as 31 projects have been approved for funding representing a combined investment of over $32 million from the federal and provincial governments, and 27 municipalities.
Announced by Minister Gudie Hutchings, Minister John Abbott, and Minister Gerry Byrne, these projects will improve the reliability, performance, and serviceability of the province's roads and highways.
Improvements to road infrastructure are underway across the province, spanning from Trepassey to Wabush. These 31 projects include intersection re-designs, sidewalk installations, roadside retaining wall replacements, culvert and bridge replacements, and over 20 road re-paving projects.
In Corner Brook, where today's announcement took place, the aging retaining wall on Curling Street will be replaced to prevent damage to the road. The city's Deep Gulch Brook Culvert will also be replaced and include a new sidewalk and traffic island.
