The ceremonial turning of the sod has happened in St. George to mark the official start of one of the largest highway projects in the history of the province.
When work is complete, Highway One will be twinned all the way to St. Stephen.
Liberal cabinet minister Rick Doucette, who represents the area in the riding, tells CHSJ News he worked hand in hand with Former federal Conservative Minister Greg Thompson to see this done.
The project will take just over three years to finish.
