A 2.6-million dollar contract for grading and paving on the Welsford Bypass has been awarded to Northern Construction of Grand Falls.
Work is expected to begin within two weeks and will involve a 5-kilometre stretch of the new road as well as four ramps on the northern end of the bypass.
The 60-million dollar bypass project consists of 10-kilometres of four lane highway and is scheduled to be completed and open for traffic in the fall of next year.
