Tantramar Mayor Andrew Black had some good news for a crowd of about 30 residents at a municipal roadshow session last night in Dorchester.
Black told the crowd a temporary fix is coming to reopen Route 106 by July 2, two months earlier than the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI) had predicted, following the route’s closure in early April.
Black said he had just received confirmation from DTI Thursday morning that they intend to construct a one-lane modular Bailey bridge beside the current damaged culvert at Two Mile Brook, to allow drivers through on the 106 between Sackville and Dorchester. The move will take some of the pressure off Woodlawn Road and King Street, which are currently serving as the detour route between the village and the town.
CHMA has more on the story.
