New Bridge on Mt. Whatley Road

There will soon be a new bridge over the Missaguash River at the border of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

The Department of Transportation and Public Works will work with the New Brunswick Department of Transportation to replace an old wooden truss bridge on Mt. Whatley Rd.

"A new bridge will mean better access to services and safer travel for residents of Cumberland County and their New Brunswick neighbours," said Ernest Fage, Minister responsible for the Public Service Commission, on behalf of Angus MacIsaac, Minister of Transportation and Public Works.

Mr. Fage announced the start of the project today, Sept. 7, on the Nova Scotia side of the border.

The new panel bridge will be in place by Tuesday, Oct. 31.
