Road improvement projects announced for Bonavista South

Percy Barrett, Minister of Works, Services and Transportation, announced today his department has allocated $650,000 of its 2001/02 provincial roads budget for improvements in the Bonavista South area.

"I met with the people of Jamestown and Winter Brook over the past several months and listened to their needs regarding local roads," said Mr. Barrett. "I�m glad to be able to respond to their requests today by announcing projects which will address those needs."

Projects for the area include upgrading and repaving a section of Route 235-17 (Open Hall Road); resurfacing a section of Route 235 near Birchy Cove, which was upgraded in 2000; paving one kilometre in Jamestown; and paving two kilometres in Winter Brook.

The department expects to call tenders for the projects over the next several months.
