A new on-ramp will connect drivers on Industrial Street to Route 15 in Dieppe thanks to a new project.
Currently in its design phase, the build will cost about $1.5 million and is expected to be completed sometime this year.
There is already an off-ramp in the area that was built back in 2018 to ease traffic flow during construction at Harrisville Boulevard. The addition of an on-ramp will provide easier access to the Industrial Park.
Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre says the new ramp will not only reduce traffic on Dieppe Boulevard but will also enhance the industrial park’s competitiveness and appeal.
“The construction of an access ramp to Highway 15 from Industrial Street is excellent news for Dieppe and represents a transformative investment for our community and businesses,” said Lapierre. “Dieppe is growing and evolving, and we are proud to be laying the groundwork today for an even more prosperous economic future.”
The construction tender will be advertised in July, according to the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure.
Department Minister Chuck Chiasson says the government is committed to investing in projects that benefit residents and betters mobility.
