March 21, 1997
(Works, Services and Transportation)
Section of Trans Labrador Highway Scheduled to
Close to Heavy Traffic
Julie Bettney, Minister of Works, Services and Transportation,
announced today that the section of the Trans Labrador Highway
between Churchill Falls and Happy Valley-Goose Bay is scheduled
to close on April 10, 1997 for a period of four to six weeks.
This measure is being taken, after consultation with members
of the trucking industry, in anticipation of the spring thaw and
run off. Announcing the closure date at this time will allow
sufficient time for transportation of extra supplies.
Conditions will be monitored on a daily basis and appropriate
notice will be given if there is any change to the scheduled
closure.
