Tenders Called for Cumberland County Paving Project

A connector road between Springhill and Oxford in Cumberland 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 of Route 321 from the Springhill town line north for six kilometres.

"Secondary roads play an important part in Nova Scotia's transportation system," said Ronald Chisholm, acting Minister of Transportation and Public Works. "This project is part of our continuing efforts to upgrade the province's highways."

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.
