Some of Highway 2 in Fall River will be better protected from flooding with $3.6 million from the city and federal government.
Heavy precipitation often causes flooding at three sites on Highway 2, from Holland Road to Howe Avenue, from Coach Avenue to #3476 Highway 2, and from Fall River Road to Miller Lane.
So, the drainage system will get upgraded to prevent flooding on private property.
In a statement, Mayor Andy Fillmore says these investments ensure growth is sustainable and resilient.
“These investments safeguard families, homeowners, and businesses — building communities that thrive for generations to come.”
MP for Sackville-Bedford-Preston Braeden Clark says extreme weather events cause a lot of damage.
“The federal government is committed to funding projects, like this one in Fall River, that will ensure people’s homes and our roads and highways are better protected against flooding from heavy rainfalls which are getting worse and more frequent.”
