The completion of the four-lane Trans-Canada highway in New Brunswick is a priority for both the provincial and federal government. A modern, four-lane Trans-Canada will make it easier to move people and goods throughout New Brunswick and to move them more efficiently and with greater safety. This will further enhance the already important role of the Trans-Canada Highway as a trade corridor and will make New Brunswick a more attractive destination for visitors. The project to complete the four-lane Trans-Canada highway in New Brunswick has received national recognition for its financing. The Trans-Canada highway project was the first highway infrastructure project in Canada to require its private-sector partner to finance construction of the project with payment only once the highway opened to traffic. The project has since served as a model for other highway infrastructure projects in Canada. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E216511.
