The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure has awarded contracts totalling almost $3 million to two companies for brush clearing for the upcoming expansion of the Trans-Canada Highway.
The brush clearing will take place on the TCH from Whitbourne to Chance Cove, between Route 350 and Grand Falls-Windsor, and between Chance Cove and Sunnyside.
The contracts involve the clearing of the existing right-of-way on both sides of the highway, as well as additional widening for the new divided highway.
