Rankin says Highway 104 to Port Hawkesbury and the most dangerous sections of Highway 103 to Bridgewater are the next twinning projects that will be prioritized by a Rankin Government.

Rankin made the announcement with Liberal candidates Randy Delorey in Antigonish, Joe MacDonald in Pictou East and Lloyd Hines in Guysborough-Tracadie.
