Nova Scotia Readies For Atlantic Gateway Study

Posted on Friday, October 05 at 15:52 by N Say
Cirtwill's comments come as Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency Minister Peter MacKay prepares to release a study on the viability of transportation improvements in the region, including an "Atlantic gateway" to handle an expected increase in container traffic from India.

The study will reveal if there is a strong business case to spend $2 billion the federal government has earmarked for infrastructure projects.

In Nova Scotia, there are requests to twin the highway between New Glasgow and Antigonish, add a rail spur to a new terminal in the Canso Strait, dredge part of Sydney harbour, and enhance marketing for the Port of Halifax.
