This year’s Northern Highways Program includes the twinning of the Trans-Canada Highway west of Kenora.
Greg Rickford is the Minister of Northern Development and Mines and says all told, the government plans to spend $625 million this year on road and bridge upgrades.
“Safe and reliable highways are important to everyone in the north and we have a lot of open road with nearly 11,000 kilometers of highway crossing northern Ontario,” says Rickford.
The Kenora-Rainy River MPP stresses “These investments are going to make travel easier, but most importantly safer.”
Our government is investing $625 million to expand & improve highways, roads & bridges across Northern Ontario. We are committed and proud to support critical road infrastructure that improves the quality of life for hardworking northern families and businesses. @C_Mulroney pic.twitter.com/FQZ8tXwfla
