Nova Scotia completes Highway 101 widening
ST. CROIX, N.S.
Motorists on one of Nova Scotia’s most-travelled highways are benefiting from a new four-lane section of twinned road between St. Croix and Three Mile Plains on Highway 101.
Work was completed on the 7.4 kilometres of twinned highway at the end of July. The cost to twin this section of Highway 101 was approximately $22 million, provided jointly by the federal and provincial governments. The project took five years to complete.
The paving between St. Croix and Three Mile Plains is part of a $310-million investment in highways this fiscal year, the second-largest highway improvement budget in Nova Scotia’s history.
In 2008, twinning between Falmouth and Avonport on Highway 101 was completed. Future work includes the section between Three Mile Plains and Falmouth.
