RENFREW, ON, Aug. 22, 2019 /CNW/ - Investing in modern transportation infrastructure is vital to connecting communities and ensuring that Canadians get to work, school and essential services on time and back home safely at the end of a long day.

The municipalities of Madawaska, North Algona Wilberforce, Renfrew, Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan, Tay Valley, North Frontenac, Drummond-North Elmsley, and Admaston/Bromley will see significant reconstruction and rehabilitation projects on their roadways. In addition, repairs and replacement of key components will be carried out on bridges in Brockville and in the Carleton Place.

The Province of Ontario will contribute over $6.4 million with municipalities responsible for the remaining project costs.
