Premier Says Highway 17 Twinning Still In Works

Plans to twin the Trans-Canada Highway west of Kenora may be dormant, but the project isn’t dead.
That assurance from premier Kathleen Wynne.
Wynne admits it’s taking longer than expected to start construction but says they are continuing to work with local first nations to ensure the project can go ahead.
Wynne notes she doesn’t know when the project will get underway.
Former premier Dalton McGuinty promised $100-million in funding for the project over four years ago, but to date no actual construction has begun.
The feds say they remain committed to the project.
