It has been a long time coming for some, but work is expected to soon get underway on the twinning of Route 11 between Route 15 and the Shediac River.
$19.2 million dollars was allocated in the provincial capital budget for this project, that will improve highway safety. $27 million is coming from the federal government.
Phase 1 includes twinning 6.8 kilometres of highway from Route 15 to the south side of the Shediac River.
The section of highway to be twinned in the Shediac area has a traffic count of about 19,000 vehicles per day, with even more during the tourist season.
