(Courtesy translation) The Minister of Transport Quebec estimated the cost of the work to continue the construction of Highway 138 in the Lower North Shore at $ 1 billion. This is what Minister Robert Poëti advised in an exchange with the official opposition transport spokesman Martine Ouellet at the Parliamentary Committee on transport and the environment last month. However, the Minister has not confirmed if this funding is available and gave no specific timetable. Mr. Poëti has however clarified from which would come the funds for completion. If there is funding, he will have to come from the North Plan Fund, it is clear, he said. For his part, the Mayor of Gros-Mécatina, Randy Jones, estimated that completion can be done at a cost lower than that put forward Robert Poëti. It is 365 km or 360 kilometers of road [...] I think that if we decide to do everything at the same time, we will save money, he said. This year, the Couillard Government dedicated $ 63 million to the North Plan funds for the economic development of the northern territories. A portion of these funds will be used for the extension of Highway 138. Source: ICI Radio-Canada
