After three years of construction, a new four-lane section along Route 1 opens to traffic this morning at ten. It runs from Church Street in St. Stephen to the New Brunswick/Maine border and Transportation Minister Denis Landry tells Tide News, he remembers asking St. Stephen Mayor Jed Purcell in a recent meeting how happy he will be when this project is finished.
Events to officially open the new international bridge linking Route 1 to Calais, Maine will happen later.
