Conway, Hwy. 101 paving projects announced
Conway is about to get a left-turning lane from Hwy. 101 at Exit 26, north to the Digby town line.


Repaving of 2.3 kilometres of Route 303 is included in the project, one of two announced today by the provincial and federal governments.

The second project will see repaving of Hwy. 101 from the Mary Jane Riley Road overpass to the Digby County end of the bridge across Bear River.

No start date was announced for the work, but federal financial support under the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund is for construction-ready infrastructure projects that can be completed by March 31, 2011.

The projects are being paid for by a $2.79-million joint investment by the province and Ottawa. Nova Scotia is contributing $1.39 million to the projects, with a matching contribution from the federal government.
