    MHA Andrew Parsons says this will include clearing along the entire right-of-way on both sides of this section of highway.

    A contract totaling approximately $370,000 has been awarded to JCL Investments Inc. for brush clearing for the upcoming additional passing lane project in the Port aux Basques area. MHA Andrew Parsons says this will include clearing along the Trans-Canada Highway from Campbell's Brook to Port aux Basques, and the entire right-of-way on both sides of this section of highway. Parsons says work is expected to start soon. When the passing lane is constructed, it will allow vehicles, including commercial vehicles, to flow more efficiently during peak periods of ferry traffic and contribute to overall safety.
