The McGuinty Government has increased the funding for the Northern Highway program. An extra 125 million dollars was added to this year's budget. Minister of Northern Development Michael Gravelle says four laning the highway will help our economy and our safety. Highway 61 between Broadway Avenue and the Neebing River, and Highway 11/17 between Balsam Street and the Current River are next to be improved. Bruno Contracting won the 9.9 million dollar tender.
