Remember that news release claiming that work on the Trans-Labrador Highway was being “accelerated” when it actually wasn’t.
Well, it wasn’t and now there is the excuse to go with it, courtesy of Jim Baker the Tory MHA for Labrador West:
"Given the time it got started, the preparation work that needed to be done and the time it took to get mobilized, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much has been done," he stated. "Next year obviously, when they get started, everything will be ready to move. All the crushing will be done, so all they'll have to do is lay out the blacktop."
And that blacktop will be laid next year as originally planned back in June when they let the first tender go. Had they waited on the second tender until next year, the work would have been done…
wait for it…
next year.
As planned.
