Road work announced for Bellevue District

Tom Rideout, Minister of Transportation and Works, today announced road work for Bellevue District, under the 2005-06 Provincial Roads Improvement Program.

"The Department of Transportation and Works maintains approximately 9,500 km of primary, secondary and community roads throughout the province, and government has an ongoing commitment to improving all transportation links in order to provide a safe and reliable roads system," said Minister Rideout. "To that end, I am pleased to announce planned projects in the Bellevue District, with the attainment of this goal in mind."

Bellevue District will see the replacement of the Fair Haven Culvert on the Trans Canada Highway, as well as the existing culvert at Landy�s Cove Brook on Route 201. There are also plans to supply and install a bailey bridge at Arnold�s Cove Station. These projects are valued at $425,000.

"In Budget 2005, government will be spending $33.7 million on the Provincial Roads Improvement Program, including $3.7 million in carryovers from last year," said Minister Rideout. "This demonstrates government�s commitment to the upgrading of the province�s roadways."
