Firefighters across Nova Scotia are rallying behind a Pictou County volunteer fire department after $35,000 worth of life-saving equipment was stolen late last month.
Officials with the Department of Public Works say work is around 60 per cent finished on the 104 twinning project. Locals who have been calling for the highway to be twinned are eagerly anticipating the 2023 completion date.
Highway 103 Twinning Project Reaches Milestone
December 16, 2020 - 11:50 AM
Motorists can expect safer and more efficient travel with a newly twinned section of Highway 103 from Tantallon to Ingramport officially opening today, Dec. 16.
“This is a significant milestone for government as this is the first twinned section of highway to open as part of our 2017 investment in road safety,” said Lloyd Hines, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal. “This section of twinned highway will keep the motoring public safe and improve capacity for goods travelling to and from communities along the south shore.”
The last of the project work for the 11-kilometre section between Tantallon and Ingramport was completed Tuesday, Dec. 15. That work included installing guard rails, rumble strips and line painting.
