Gaping potholes, crumbling rural roads threaten N.L.'s plan to revive tourism industry

Scratch and patch season, also known as summer, often doesn't come at all in the province's remotest corners. This year, despite a pedal-to-the-metal Come Home Year marketing campaign, not much has changed.

NL: Approximately 10 kilometres of roads on the Northern Peninsula will be improved following the awarding of a contract for road construction in the region.

A contract valued at $4.5 million has been awarded to Nortech Construction Co Ltd. to complete upgrades on Route 430, Northern Peninsula Highway, including 4.6 kilometres between Bear Cove and Green Island Cove, 2.8 kilometres south of Three Mile Rock, and 1.2 kilometres near the Route 430 intersection with Route 432.

The contract also includes work on approximately one kilometre of Route 430-15, West Link Road.

The scope of work for all areas includes replacing culverts, clearing ditches, and paving.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure anticipates this work to be completed later this construction season.

Other work planned for Route 430 includes repairs to Bowing Brook Bridge and Castor River Bridge next construction season.
