Moncton, New Brunswick
The Government of Canada and the Government of New Brunswick are co-operating on more construction of the Fundy Trail Parkway, a major building project that will create and protect hundreds of local jobs, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced today.
“The Fundy Trail Parkway is exactly the kind of project we are looking for,” said the Prime Minister, who was joined by New Brunswick Premier Shawn Graham at the announcement. “Construction on this project will create jobs right away. When completed, this project will make it easier for businesses in Southern New Brunswick to create jobs for the future. This is the right kind of investment for us to make in fighting the impact of the global recession.”
Upon completion, the Fundy Trail Parkway will provide a scenic coastal road linking Saint John, Sussex and Moncton. The initiative announced today includes the ongoing construction of the connector road between Route 111 and Route 114 in southern New Brunswick.
The Fundy Trail Parkway is one of many job-creating investments contained within the Harper Government’s Economic Action Plan.
