Contract Awarded for Completion of Team Gushue Highway

The Provincial Government has awarded a contract for $30 million to Bursey Excavating and Development Inc. for the completion of the Team Gushue Highway.

The highway will provide an alternate route for residents on the southern Avalon to access provincial services and social infrastructure, including the province’s largest health care and post-secondary facilities.

The Team Gushue Highway project involves the completion of a north-south arterial highway route in St. John’s and Mount Pearl. The end of the Team Gushue Highway will be connected to the Pitts Memorial Drive and Robert E. Howlett Memorial Drive interchange using a roundabout corridor.

This will involve extending the paved highway from Topsail Road to the Commonwealth Avenue, Brookfield Road and Heavy Tree Road area.

Construction will begin this fall and is anticipated to be completed in late 2026.
