Projects in New Brunswick
Fundy Trail Parkway
Project location: Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick
With over 50 per cent of the trail work already completed, this $10-million project is well on its way to meeting its June 30, 2010, projected completion date. This pristine coastal destination in the Bay of Fundy region of New Brunswick is already attracting more tourism to the area.
Port of Belledune Terminal Expansion
Project location: Belledune, New Brunswick
The Port of Belledune terminal expansion project consists of the construction of an 18-hectare cargo storage area, a Roll-on-Roll-off (RO-RO) Barge Terminal and refurbishing of Terminal 1. The new multi-use cargo storage area will accommodate the demand for bulk storage within proximity of the wharf and a further storage area of three hectares will be constructed to complement the new Roll-on-Roll-off ramp.
The new RO-RO/Barge Terminal will consist of a ramp system to accept both stern ramp RO-RO vessels and barges to allow the loading of component and wheeled cargoes. As well, a further storage area of 2 hectares will be constructed to compliment the RO-RO ramp.
The refurbishment of Terminal 1 is as a result of a structural analysis carried out on the wharf in 2008. Terminal 1 was built in 1967 and only maintenance has been done on the wharf since that time. A comprehensive structural refurbishment is required to continue the use of this key terminal.
In speaking about the project, Mr. Rayburn Doucett, President and CEO of the Port of Belledune said, "Our investment in the port of Belledune's expansion project will not only put people to work but it symbolizes the beginning of the transformation of northern New Brunswick's economy.
