New Bridge Project In Yarmouth County

The province has awarded a $13.5 million dollar contract to build a new bridge to Surettes Island in Yarmouth County. The contract to build the two-lane, 189-metre bridge was awarded to Dexter Construction. It will replace the one-lane bridge on Route 308 to Surettes Island and mean less traffic delays during repairs as one lane can be left open. Work on the new Surettes Island Bridge is expected to begin in the near future. The construction company is still working out scheduling details.
