Repairs have been made on the Trans-Canada Highway in southwestern Newfoundland to allow traffic to flow Monday (November 29) at two of the four damaged areas.

The highway will reopen north of Little Paradise Park. Updates will be provided by noon Monday.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane in some areas.

Motorists are reminded obey traffic control and watch for heavy equipment and crews working in the area.

Repairs are also progressing as planned near the weigh scales outside Port au Basques and near Little Paradise Park.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure anticipates the areas near the Port aux Basques weigh scales and at Little Paradise Park reopening to traffic mid-week.

Updates are being provided as they become available.

While repairs continues, the public is asked to follow the advice and direction of emergency officials and stay away from the damaged areas. Avoiding these areas will allow crews to complete the work in a more timely manner.

Vaccination Status Survey

The Canadian and US governments have both recently announced that essential travelers, including truck drivers, must be fully vaccinated to enter their countries via the land border. For those entering Canada, the policy is set take effect on January 15th, and for those entering the US, it will kick in on January 22nd. The PMTC has been lobbying to have this policy reversed for the Trucking Industry, or at the very least, delayed, as we believe it will have dire effects on the supply chain between our two countries. We are looking to inform government with hard data and need your help to do so.

 

Please take a moment and complete this survey by end of day on Sunday November 28th.  

 

Results will remain confidential, and data will be combined.

November 25, 2021

 Construction to repair damaged sections of the Trans-Canada Highway in southwestern Newfoundland began today. Four areas of the Trans-Canada Highway and other highways in the region were damaged by heavy rainfalls earlier this week.

Water levels have subsided and crews have mobilized materials and heavy equipment to the region to prepare for new culverts to be installed.

The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure anticipates culverts arriving in the region today. All repairs to damaged highways are being completed on a priority basis.

Crews continue to monitor and assess infrastructure in the region. Motorists in the region are urged to avoid the areas to allow contractors to complete work as quickly as possible.

Updates are being provided as they become available. Additional details on the closures and other highway construction projects are available on www.nl511.ca and the NL 511 smartphone app.
