“Our ongoing investments in the expansion of Highway 69 are building a safer road for our community while at the same time, generating economic development and job creation in the north,” Bartolucci said.

“Once the contract is awarded, construction of this stretch of highway is expected to create approximately 550 jobs,” Bartolucci said.
