"This $37 million investment is a great step in growing our rural infrastructure and partnerships with rural municipalities," Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw said. "I would like to thank the partnership committee for the work they have done with the ministry on this project as this will increase safety for motorists, create jobs and contribute to our province's economic recovery."
In 2020-21, the Ministry of Highways entered into six other partnerships with rural municipalities. Partnership investments support local economies by building transportation assets that last, setting the stage for continued growth once the pandemic is behind us. These collaborations address shared challenges and allocate limited resources more effectively, making our communities better places to live and work.
