The $16.9 million resurfacing project on a 20-kilometre stretch of highway running through Garden River and Echo Bay was completed on time
Residents, partners, and elected officials gathered at the Band Office in Garden River First Nation this morning to celebrate the completion of the $16.9 million Highway 17B resurfacing project with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
A 20-kilometre stretch of highway running through Garden River and Echo Bay has been completely redone, including fully paved shoulders for cyclists and pedestrians, right and left turn lanes, and the addition of curb and new lighting. Culvert, gutter, and guide rail work was also included in the transformation.
A memorandum of understanding was signed between project partners back in 2019 to initiate the process, and construction officially began in the summer of 2021. The resurfacing of Highway 17B witnessed a number of Garden River First Nation community members receive training and jobs as a result of KSMM 2020, a unique partnership between Garden River First Nation, Miller Paving Limited and Shwe Miikaan Corporation, a construction company that’s owned jointly by Shawanaga, Magnetawan and Henvey Inlet First Nations.“This was a very beautiful experience for Garden River,” he says.
