Nova Scotians will soon have a better, safer drive along a well-used section of Highway 104 in Antigonish County.
The Department of Public Works will repave about 1.5 kilometres of the highway west of the Monastery exit (Exit 37) this construction season.
This is part of the Trans-Canada Highway that connects our country from coast to coast, said Michelle Thompson, Minister of Health and Wellness and MLA for Antigonish, on behalf of Public Works Minister Fred Tilley. Preserving and improving this important trade route is an important part of securing a more prosperous future for our province.
A tender will be issued in the coming days, and the project is expected to be complete by late fall.
