Last week the Province announced an investment of $420 million in critical infrastructure funding to strengthen the northern economy. Within that announcement were improvements of over $100 million for Highway 6. The Safer Highway 6 Citizens Action Group is pleased to hear of the investment and are seeking more information on it.
“We think it’s a good announcement, especially with the provincial government spending money on Highway 6 improvements,” said Safer Highway 6 Citizens Action Group member Volker Beckmann. “I told the Minister of Transportation that our group would be sending him a series of resolutions signed by northern communities and Chambers of Commerce asking for some specific things.
“We’re looking forward to getting information as to exactly what the money they’re spending will cover in terms of where will the work take place, the amount of the construction and who the contractors are. They provided us with that last year, so we just want to make sure we have an idea of exactly the type of work that they are doing.
