This renovation project focused on Highway 436 leading to L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, with the goal of improving infrastructure access to this culturally significant location. The work included pulverization of approximately 33,875 square metres of existing asphalt, followed by extensive excavation, trenching, and backfilling totaling around 9,160 cubic metres. Approximately 4,500 tonnes of hot mix asphalt concrete were placed to create a new, durable road surface. The project also involved the supply and placement of roughly 13,000 tonnes of Granular A and B materials. In addition, 200 metres of existing guiderail were removed and replaced with new W-Beam guiderail, and approximately 318 metres of existing culverts were excavated, removed, and replaced to improve drainage. These upgrades provide a safer, more reliable route for visitors while supporting the preservation and accessibility of this nationally treasured site.
This comprehensive road rehabilitation project encompassed multiple routes across the Northern Peninsula, including 6.5 km of Route 433-10 (Bide Arm Road), 5.0 km of Route 430-28 (Port au Choix Road), 2.0 km of Route 430-21-1 (Cow Head Main Street), and additional sections along Route 438 (Croque Road), Route 430-50 and 430-52 (Forresters Point), and Route 430-36 (Reefs Harbour Road). The work involved excavation of approximately 19,500 cubic metres of foundation material, installation of 950 metres of pipe culverts, and placement of around 16,000 tonnes of hot mix asphalt concrete paving surface. Asphalt patching was completed over roughly 1,300 square metres, and approximately 49,000 tonnes of Granular A, B, and Maintenance Grade No. 1 materials were supplied and placed. This project significantly improved roadway structure, drainage, and surface conditions, enhancing transportation safety and reliability for residents and travelers throughout the region.
This project involved the supply and placement of approximately 3,000 tonnes of hot mix asphalt concrete to resurface a 3-kilometre section of roadway. Prior to paving, a tack coat was applied to the existing asphalt surface to ensure proper adhesion. The scope also included the supply and installation of approximately 137 metres of guide rails to enhance roadside safety. Additionally, Granular A and B materials were supplied and placed as required to establish a solid and stable foundation. This project improved the structural integrity and safety of the roadway while supporting long-term durability.
The project involved replacing an existing structural plate corrugated steel pipe on the TCH with a new round 4610mm diameter structural plate pipe. Additionally, the plan included replacing an existing corrugated steel pipe on the TCH with a round 1400mm diameter polymer-laminated CSP. The scope of work encompassed clearing, grubbing, constructing a temporary two-lane diversion road with culvert crossings, excavating foundations, supplying and installing CSP and SPCSP, installing a reinforced concrete scour wall and fish baffles, backfilling, and paving the cut with rockcap, granulars, and asphalt.
The scope of work included clearing and grading the existing highway, preparing a stable sub-base, and then applying asphalt layers for a durable and smooth driving surface. Drainage considerations were crucial to prevent water accumulation and ensure the longevity of the pavement. This project aimed to significantly enhance the accessibility and safety of the Trans-Labrador Highway, providing a more reliable transportation route for the community and facilitating economic development in the region.
