County. Route 256 from Route 326 easterly to the Pictou County
line and Route 311 from the Kemptown Road northerly to the
Matheson Road will be reduced to one lane with alternating lane
closures, directed by flashing light units. Work consists of
grading, gravelling and concrete repaving. The project is
expected to be complete by the end of August.
