DIEPPE (GNB) – The government will invest about $1.5 million to build an on-ramp in Dieppe, connecting Industrial Street to Route 15.

“Our government is committed to investing in infrastructure projects that improve mobility and benefit all residents,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Chuck Chiasson. “The construction of this new ramp will not only improve traffic flow, but will also support the growing needs of the community and local businesses.”

This project is part of ongoing efforts to enhance traffic efficiency and safety in the region.

An off-ramp at this location was built in 2018 to mitigate traffic congestion during upgrades to the Harrisville Boulevard interchange.

“The construction of an access ramp to Highway 15 from Industrial Street is excellent news for Dieppe and represents a transformative investment for our community and businesses,” said Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre. “This direct and efficient access to the highway network will not only reduce traffic on Dieppe Boulevard, but, more importantly, enhance our industrial park’s competitiveness and appeal. This project aligns perfectly with our city’s development vision. I would also note that the major rehabilitation of Industrial Street, completed a few years ago, was planned in anticipation of this connection. Dieppe is growing and evolving, and we are proud to be laying the groundwork today for an even more prosperous economic future.”

The design process is underway, and the construction tender is expected to be advertised in July. Construction is expected to be complete this year.

This initiative aligns with the government's commitment to investing in infrastructure projects that promote economic development, improve traffic flow and support community needs.
