A safer drive if you live in Wellington and surrounding communities.
Public Works says the new Aerotech Connector has opened.
It is a $70 million significant piece of infrastructure, is a new five-kilometre stretch of highway, that links Trunk 2 with Exit 5A of Highway 102, south of Enfield.
It is expected to improve access to Aerotech Industrial Park and Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
The project features a climbing lane for passing slower traffic and roundabouts at both ends — where the new road meets Highway 102 and at Trunk 2/Sunnylea Road.
Most of the road has been built lower than surrounding homes, with tree cover to help reduce noise and visibility and routed to avoid wetlands and other environmentally sensitive areas.
The project is expected to reduce congestion, support local businesses, and improve overall safety for drivers in the area.
