Another big step has been taken in the reconstruction of County Road 49 in Prince Edward County.
On Friday, Mayor Steve Ferguson issued the following post on social media.
CR49 reconstruction update:
The tender has been issued and will close at the end of April. Submissions will be reviewed for completeness, experience and capabilities, and a staff report with recommendations to award the project will come to Council sometime in May. Timing of construction commencement and completion will be discussed at the May meeting. Please stay tuned!
In mid-March, the province announced additional funding for the rest of the County 49 project between $37 and $45 million funding.
The funding will support the repair and upgrade of 18.4 kilometres of County Road 49 between Picton and the Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge in the County.
The County has already committed to contribute $7.8 million to the project.
