Sadly on the day that the scheme officially goes to tender, we lost another life on this stretch of road. RIP to the man involved and hopefully this gets underway so that a stop is put to these safety issues

marno21 wrote: » It *could* start in mid 2019, provided funding will be allocated for 2019 for the project. We'll find out for sure in the next few weeks but I would be fairly sure this wouldn't be tendered this early unless the plan was to start in 2019.

marno21 wrote: » Around this time next year at the earliest. We should get a more concrete date as time goes on, and the Examiner or one of the local papers will likely run an article on how the process is going especially with a potential election around the corner. TII are quite anxious to get this done quickly as it has considerable safety issues. The existing road especially around Coolavokig and west of it is an embarrassment.
