    Work on the Mount Bernard Avenue Reconstruction Project in Corner Brook is expected to be complete this year. Detours and road closures in the area have been ongoing in the area for the past three years on this nearly $10.5 million dollar project. The cost is split 80/20, qualified as a regional project. Councillor Charles Pender gave an update on the project at this week’s public meeting. Work stopped just below Randolph Street for 2023. Base course asphalt was installed and reopened to traffic for winter. Work includes new underground infrastructure, curb/gutter, sidewalk (1 side) and asphalt  Approximately 80% of underground piping is complete. Meanwhile, Pender says there are several other big projects this construction season, like the Deep Gulch Brook project, which is near the intersection of O’Connell Drive and University Drive.
