The proposed road to a liquefied natural gas project on Nova Scotia s Eastern Shore is paved with conflicting opinions about whether the highway change and the $10-billion development it is a part of should even go ahead.
Pieridae Energy received environmental approval in 2014 to build a natural gas liquefaction plant at Goldboro, a tanker terminal, marine facilities and power plant.
For the project to proceed, the company needs to move a 3.5-kilometre section of Highway 316, a secondary highway that hugs the coastline. The proposed realignment would divert vehicles inland and around the proposed LNG facility.
