Thirty two highway projects in the region are nearing completion.

Nearly 500 kilometers of highway are being repaved and nine bridges are also being worked on.

They include 21 kilometres of Highway 11 east of Fort Frances and the fabricating of pre-cast concrete deck components for the Noden Causeway.

Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle says the improvements will lead to safer roads and encourage economic growth.
