Oakville-headquartered Bot Construction has been awarded a contract to four-lane nine km of Highway 69 between Highway 64 and Murdock River. The work is expected to create up to 570 jobs.
"Since 2005, our government has invested significantly in expansion projects that are making Sudbury's dream of a four-laned highway a reality,” Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci said in a news release. “With two construction projects awarded this year, we are well on our way to providing residents and industry with a safer, more efficient highway that will promote economic development within the entire region."
Work will begin this summer, with completion scheduled for 2016. The government did not disclose the value of the contract in the press release.
In July, the province announced four-laning of an 11 km section between Highway 607 and Highway 64 had been awarded to Teranorth Construction and Engineer of Sudbury.
Work on that section of highway began in June and is expected to be complete by 2015.
