Some improvements will be made to the North West River Highway (Route 520), north of Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

The work includes approximately three kilometres of paving and shoulder repairs on the highway between its intersection with Edmonton Street and North West River.

The work will get underway this construction season. Additional work is being planned for future construction seasons.

On July 5, paving on the Trans-Labrador Highway was completed, equalling more than 1,100 kilometres of paved highway between the Labrador Straits and Labrador West.
