Nova Scotians will soon have a better, safer drive along a well-used section of Highway 105 in Inverness County.
About four kilometres of the highway will be repaved west of Exit 6 at Route 223.
Highway 105 is an important trade route linking Cape Breton to the mainland, as well as Newfoundland to all of Canada, said Inverness MLA Kyle MacQuarrie, on behalf of Public Works Minister Fred Tilley. Our economic prosperity is strengthened by investing in the safety and efficiency of this highway.
A tender will be issued in the coming days, and the project is expected to be complete by late fall.
