A local construction company received the tender for a signalized intersection near the East
River Business Park.
The New Scotland Business Development board of directors for the business park awarded the contract to S. W. Weeks Construction, which submitted a tender of $767,400.
A release from the Municipality of Pictou County stated the 17-acre commercial park located along the East River Road, owned by the Town of New Glasgow and the Municipality of Pictou County, saw considerable development in the past year. There is currently one business in the midst of construction, streetlights, paving and curbing is complete and work is finishing on a new wastewater lift station that will replace a current station in the Town of New Glasgow.
The new intersection will be located at the end of North Novie Drive, which is the road going into the business park off of East River Road. The intersection work is expected to begin in late June and traffic advisories will be issued when the work is taking place.
