Highway bucks

ANTIGONISH — The provincial and federal governments have announced plans to twin a highway near Antigonish and upgrade bridges and overpasses across Nova Scotia.
Ottawa has earmarked up to $30 million to help the province twin an eight-kilometre stretch of Highway 104, Peter MacKay, the Central Nova MP who is also the defence minister, said Sunday in Antigonish.
The $60-million worth of construction on Highway 104 is Phase 2 of a project identified in 2007 to ease congestion, improve safety and reduce travel time.
Both governments also promised to replace Lower South River and Heatherton bridges on Highway 104, Little Bras d’Or Bridge on Highway 105, and Highway 102 overpasses at Milford and Fairview.
