Tenders Called for Digby County Road-paving Project

An important road connection between Church Point and Concession in Digby County will soon be easier to drive thanks to a tender announced by the Department of Transportation and Public Works.

The tender is for repaving Patrice Road from the intersection of Trunk 1 for 6.7 kilometres to the intersection of Second Division Road.

"Patrice Road is a well-travelled route to Trunk 1 at Church Point," said Jamie Muir, acting Minister of Transportation and Public Works. "This project will make it smoother and safer."

The Department of Transportation and Public Works' highways division manages more than 23,000 kilometres of roads in Nova Scotia. It maintains 4,100 bridges and operates seven provincial ferries. Staff provide services from district offices in Bridgewater, Bedford, Truro, and Sydney.
