More moose fencing to be added near Salmonier Line

Approximately $1 million has been allocated again this year for an additional 5.5 kilometres of moose fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway.

The fencing will be an extension of the recently completed section near Salmonier Line, which is known to be an area of high moose-vehicle incidents.

A tender for the moose fencing work has been issued, with work on the project anticipated to begin later this year.

The additional moose fencing this year is one of several measures aimed at improving road safety and helping minimize moose-vehicle collisions in Newfoundland and Labrador.
