Carbonear-Harbour Grace to receive road upgrades

Works, Services and Transportation Minister Percy Barrett and Carbonear-Harbour Grace MHA George Sweeney announced today the district will receive road upgrades in 2002-2003.

"This department is committed to providing a solid transportation infrastructure to residents of Newfoundland and Labrador, and we�ve identified areas in the district of Carbonear-Harbour Grace in which we will carry out improvements," said Minister Barrett. "I am pleased my department will soon get started on these projects."

Projects include resurfacing a section of Thicket Road; resurfacing sections of the Carbonear Bypass to correct rutting; and installing a curb at James Parson�s Road, Freshwater. The department expects to call tenders for the projects over the next several weeks.

"I am very pleased government has selected these areas to receive upgrades. I am especially pleased with these upgrades after the considerable amount of progress being made on the Conception Bay North Access Road," said Mr. Sweeney. "In addition, I am glad that Minister Barrett will visit the district so we can address other transportation concerns."
