completed

Closed

The Project aims to construct and rehabilitate roads in rural areas across Prince Edward Island to sustain the existing transportation network. All work will be completed within the current provincial right-of-way on the existing road footprint and there will be no impact to undisturbed land, forests, or waterways. The Project works include: - Rehabilitation of 50.03 kilometres of local roads at 46 separate locations; and - New construction of 3.94 kilometres of local roads at 6 separate locations to be completed alongside existing road infrastructure. The Project includes asphalt resurfacing and shouldering, which will in turn improve road safety, structural strength, ride quality and extend the life of the assets by 15-20 years. Improvements to roads in rural areas of Prince Edward Island are vital to sustaining the Province’s continued population growth. Many of these roads have seen increased residential, agricultural, tourist, and commercial traffic over the years and have not had any significant changes with respect to their design and function. The Project will benefit residents, visitors and industry alike by improving roadways to farms, fishing harbours, processing plants, tourist destinations and rural communities. Investing and improving roadways in and around rural areas will contribute to the success of the region and surrounding communities.
