Compared to the previous recommendation this configuration has the following benefits:

  • Smaller impact to wetlands and woodlots,
  • Direct access and an improved connection between existing and new alignments of Highway 6
  • Improved intersection spacing
  • Simplified configuration for drivers

Although this plan results in slightly higher costs, the transportation and environmental benefits of this configuration outweigh the minor cost difference.
