The Five-Year Provincial Roads Plan — 2017 Edition was released by the Department of Transportation and Works on Tuesday and there are projects related to Route 460 (White’s Road/Hansen Highway) and Route 490 (Roxon Way) in it for the area.
Rose said it’s good to see the province has the work that needs to be done put in the plan. He said there’s been a lot of lobbying by groups in the area, especially because of the safety issues involved.
“Now that we have it in writing, we’ll hold government to the commitment to have the upgrades completed,” Rose said.
He said, while not in the plan, there are areas of the road that require emergency repairs such as the bumps in Noel’s Pond where frequent flooding takes place and he believes those should be repaired as soon as possible for the safety of the motoring public.
