Work to replace a culvert on the Trans-Canada Highway near Little Rapids will begin in the coming weeks.

Until that time, the highway’s eastbound lanes at Little Rapids have been reduced to one lane and the speed limit has been reduced to 50 km/h. Engineers and crews in the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure are also continuing to monitor the culvert in the area.

Updates on construction timelines will be provided as they become available.

Motorists are asked to reduce their speed, pay attention to traffic control, and be prepared to slow down.

Details on highway construction projects are available on www.nl511.ca and the NL 511 smartphone app.
