The Town of Rothesay is emphasizing the urgent need for improvements to the interchange at Route One and Route 111. Mayor Bill Bishop says that interchange and the intersection of Route 111 with Campbell Drive near the fire station is a hazard.
Bishop has sent Transportation Minister Denis Landry a letter asking him to consider the necessary improvements. As it is now, traffic coming off of the MacKay Highway comes to a stop sign on a busy overpass. Changes to the interchange are not included in the current Atlantic Gateway project.
