Work is expected to begin next week on repairs to Route 450 in the Bay of Islands near Coppermine Brook.

Work includes scarifying, reshaping, rebuilding, and paving a section of the highway. Crews will also be completing ditching and shoulder work in the area.

Motorists should expect some traffic delays in the area and are asked to reduce their speed and pay attention to traffic control.

Updates on progress will be provided as they become available.

Information on tenders issued and awarded by the department and other public bodies is available by visiting www.merx.com/govnl.

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