The Trans-Labrador Highway is completely paved.

On Tuesday the province marked a milestone with paving being completed on the Trans-Labrador Highway.

There is now pavement on the highway from the Labrador Straits and Labrador West, about 1,100 kilometres.

Paving on the final section, between Cartwright Junction and Happy Valley-Goose Bay, began in June 2022.

Work will continue in the area this month as the contractor completes shouldering work on the highway.

Nearly $1 billion has been invested to build and pave the highway since 1997, including more than $230 million since 2016.
