It’s going to be easier for trucks with oversized loads to get to port property on the west side — Provincial Transportation Minister Claude Williams says a new access road is being built in the area where the Harbour Bridge toll booths once stood.
Williams says it’s a cooperative effort with the Port Authority that will help to promote trade and economic development opportunities for the port and province as a whole.
Total cost of the project is approximately $240,000 and the province is sharing the cost on a 50/50 basis with the Port Authority.
Work is underway and is scheduled for completion by the end of December — it involves relocation of some lighting – medians – and – storm sewers.
