The province is providing $30 million to support municipal road and bridge repairs in communities across Ontario this year, including West Nipissing.
Over $1 million is going towards the rehabilitation of Front Street in Sturgeon Falls.
“We are investing in municipal roads and bridges to help municipalities make needed infrastructure improvements that will keep our communities moving safely and efficiently every day,” says Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation. “This funding is part of our government’s plan to create a strong Ontario, connecting more people to jobs, housing and economic opportunities across the province.”
21 municipalities are receiving funding through the Connecting Links program.
The program covers eligible costs including the design, construction, renewal, rehabilitation and replacement of municipal roads and bridges that run through communities and connect to provincial highways.
