Team Gushue Highway to finally be completed

The federal and provincial governments have teamed up to provide funding for the completion of the Team Gushue Highway.

The $30 million in funding will support the completion of a north-south arterial highway route in St. John’s and Mount Pearl. The end of the Team Gushue Highway will be connected to the Pitts Memorial Drive and Robert E. Howlett Memorial Drive interchange using a roundabout corridor.

This will involve extending the paved highway from Topsail Road—where the Team Gushue Highway currently ends—to the Commonwealth Avenue, Brookfield Road and Heavy Tree Road area.

Also included in this project is the installation of drainage culverts, an overpass structure and auxiliary access roads, as well as re-aligning a section of Brookfield Road.
