ST. STEPHEN - The twinning of Highway 1 is racing ahead of the construction schedules for the third border crossing and international bridge, says Alan Kerr, district transportation engineer for the Department of Transportation.
Instead of waiting for the border crossing from St. Stephen to Calais, Maine, to be ready, Kerr said a portion of the highway will be opened.
The new portion of Highway 1 from Church Street in St. Stephen to Waweig will be open this fall. Kerr said there will be a detour through Church Street and signs leading traffic from the old border crossings on to the new highway.
The detour around the St. Andrews exit will continue until the new highway is opened. Kerr said portions of Union and Hawthorne Streets in St. Stephen are also closed.
