The province and Ottawa announced more than $300 million to twin two more sections of the Trans-Canada Highway. There was also a commitment to finish the Team Gushue Highway, but a looming hike in Marine Atlantic ferry rates remains a sticking point. NTV’s Jodi Cooke reports.
A late-afternoon collision on a busy metro area highway slowed rush hour traffic and sent at least one person to hospital.
