More paving is set for Highway 105 in Inverness County.

Inverness MLA Allan MacMaster issued a release stating a tender went out for a seven-kilometre stretch of Highway 105 at Glendale, heading towards Whycocomagh, beginning one kilometre east of Maple Brook Road, with the intention of completion this fall.

MacMaster said he has been pushing for the paving for some time, noting he heard from residents and truckers about the section because of its condition.

The MLA pointed out the tender is in addition to a nearby paving preservation project involving a five kilometres of asphalt intended to extend the life of paving from the Big Marsh Road towards Whycocomagh on Highway 105, which is also set to wrap up this fall.
