After hearing from Nova Scotians during province-wide twinning consultations, government is investing an additional $390 million in capital funding over seven years to improve highways without the use of tolls.

The additional $390 million will allow the province to add three sections of twinned 100-series highways to the existing highway plan. It also allows the province to build the Burnside Connector. All four projects will be complete within seven years.

The four projects are:

Highway 101, Three Mile Plains to Falmouth, including the Windsor Causeway, 9.5 kilometres

Highway 103, Tantallon to Hubbards, 22 kilometres

Highway 104, Sutherlands River to Antigonish, including Barneys River, 38 kilometres

construction of the four-lane, divided Burnside Connector (Highway 107) between Burnside to Bedford, 8.7 kilometres.

Sections of the highways will open as they are completed.

The funding also includes $30 million in safety improvements on un-twinned highway sections, including a safety study on Highway 107 from Burnside to Musquodoboit.
