The second phase of work on the Noden Causeway is expected to take place this year.

The work includes further repairs to the steel piles that support the structure. Northern Development and Mines Minister Michael Gravelle says the northern Highway's budget is still being reviewed, but he's committed to keeping the work moving.

"This is a project we remain committed to," says Gravelle. "It's one that's very, very important. And there's a certain sense of urgency which is why we're continuing to support it in a very significant way."

Last year, Gravelle announced the province would help fund the work over a five year period.
