They started the completion phase of the interchange project today. This also means they have re-routed traffic leaving Shediac to the Shediac road and back down the access ramp to highway 15. They have also opened the new section heading south from on highway 11 that connects to highway 15 so cars don't have to cross Shediac Road anymore when heading to Moncton. Traffic last night leaving Shediac was a mess and again this morning people seemed confused as to where they needed to go.
This is being done so they can connect the new traffic circle to Main street in Shediac which shouldn't take long as they have it completed up to the ramp heading in and out of Shediac already. Once that is connected they should be able to start the paving process and link everything up. They are also nearing the paving stage of the new overpass from highway 15 onto highway 11. I have no doubts they will be done by the end of the month barring a major snow storm between now and then, they have demonstrated throughout this project the willingness to work through some pretty extreme weather (I can remember last winter on some of the coldest days of the year and they were out there working away getting things done).
