ST. PETER’S: From visiting friends and relatives to getting goods to market, people rely on roads, bridges and highways to support a vibrant economy and a great quality of life. Investing in modern transportation infrastructure helps create jobs and grow the middle class now while building the foundation for a strong economic future.
Rodger Cuzner, Member of Parliament for Cape Breton-Canso, on behalf of Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and Michel Samson, Minister of Energy, today announced more than $6.5 million in federal-provincial funding to renew several kilometres of Trunk 4.
The Government of Canada is contributing up to $3,032,500 to this project while the Government of Nova Scotia is providing $3,487,500.
The rehabilitation of 6.2 kilometres of Trunk 4, from Corbett’s Cove to Canal Bridge, will include geometric improvements – such as wider shoulders – repaving, an upgraded guardrail, and the addition of a new and safer entrance to Battery Park.
This updated section of road will help to ensure the safety of the drivers, cyclists and pedestrians who use this corridor. It will also contribute to a 10-year plus lifespan of Trunk 4, making this area accessible and safe for many years to come.
