The Galway Interchange Project is now complete, allowing motorists to enter and exit Galway via the westbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway. The new interchange is designed to help ease traffic congestion on Pitts Memorial Drive, as well as nearby roadways.

In December 2022, a contract was awarded to Farrell’s Excavating Ltd. valued at $10.3 million. The work included construction of an underpass below the Trans-Canada Highway at Exit 41, as well as ramps and a roundabout on the western side of the highway that will connect to Danny Drive via the underpass.

The contract also included the construction of a temporary four-lane diversion on the Trans-Canada Highway to allow motorists to travel around the construction site at a reduced speed. Now that the project is complete, the temporary diversion has ended and traffic flows have returned to normal operation.

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

“Road infrastructure improvements such as the Galway Interchange Project are important for the growth of communities such as Galway. They also help improve road safety, given the motoring public are entering and exiting from the Trans-Canada Highway, as well as help further economic opportunities in the region.”
