A sod turning event was held this morning for the twinning of the Number one Highway with Transportation Minister Denis Landry, New Brunswick Southwest MP Greg Thompson and and the project manager, for Dexter Construction participated in a groundbreaking ceremony in St. George along with MLA for Charlotte The Isles Rick Doucet
Doucet tells Tide News this has been a long time in the making and this is the single largest highway project that the Province has seen and probably will ever see. It will be great for business and tourism
Doucet say people whom are looking for places to live will find it allot easier from the outside area that may want to move to places along the coast. Estimated time of completion for this project is 41 months to date.
This new infrastructure between Waweig and Lepreau, along with other major upgrades will help create 900 new jobs.
