Huron-Bruce MP Ben Lobb tested out the new paving on Concession 4 of Huron-Kinloss, meeting with mayor Mitch Twolan and public works director Hugh Nichol at Reid's Corners Thursday afternoon.

The $1-million project to pave the concession from Highway 21 to the Huron-Kinloss boundary was made possible with federal and provincial funding through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund. Each level of government put in one-third of the cost to make the road-paving a reality.

Lavis Construction of Clinton is doing the work, and Nichol said the project is 60-per-cent done. "The base coat is completed and they've already started the second coat," he said. "We chose this road for the grant application because it goes straight through the centre of the township."

With this part paved, it also means the entire concession from Highway 21 to the Lucknow Road has been resurfaced, said Nichol.
