Truro — There will be a new roundabout at the intersection of McClures Mills Road and Willow Street in Truro thanks to the combined investment of $2.8 million from the Government of Canada, the Government of Nova Scotia, and the Town of Truro. Announced by David Ritcey, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Truro-Bible Hill-Millbrook-Salmon River, and Bill Mills, Mayor of the Town of Truro, this project will ensure a safer and quicker commute for residents of Truro.
This investment will help ease the current traffic congestion for approximately 32,000 vehicles passing at the intersection of McClures Mills Road and Willow Street daily. The new infrastructure will help to improve the current traffic system and effectively manage the flow of traffic in this area. This measure will help reduce the number of traffic accidents and improve travel times for commuters. The project is part of the Government of Canada’s continued effort to strengthen communities and improve road safety in rural areas. By investing in safer roads, the Government of Canada is ensuring the safety of Canadians in communities across the country.
“The construction of the McClures Mills Road and Willow Street roundabout announced today is one of many meaningful infrastructure projects we invest in with our partners across Canada. This investment will help people get where they need to go safely in Truro and will improve the commutes of the many Nova Scotians who will use this daily.” – Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
