Paving Scheduled for Sambro Area

Drivers in the Sambro area will soon be travelling on new pavement as a result of a road-paving contract awarded by the province.

The Department of Transportation and Public Works has awarded a $1,059,525 contract to Dexter Construction to repave Route 306 from the intersection of Acres Road southeast for 4.5 kilometres to the intersection of Route 349.

"Work has already started on this project," said Angus MacIsaac, Minister of Transportation and Public Works. "I encourage area drivers to be patient during construction and drive with extra caution."

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.
