I’m writing to give you an update on some upcoming roadworks that the Ministry of Transportation and Mainroad have planned on Head Bay FSR. We have had some additional funds come available and as such we will be resurfacing the first 6km of Head Bay FSR heading out of Tahsis. The road shoulders have already been graded down and we will follow that up with a thin layer of asphalt to level the road surface and top that with 2 layers of chip seal which will add strength and seal the road surface. Weather pending we are hoping to have this work completed in the next couple of weeks and drivers can expect delays while these works are taking place. I know residents of Tahsis are familiar with the chip seal process but if you could please pass on the reminder that when chip seal is initially applied it is important that drivers travel slowly to allow the surface to compact evenly and not create washboard which would harden in the new surface. Please feel free to reach out or council if you have any questions.
Thank you,
