A section of Highway 101 in Hants County is getting re-paved.

The Department of Public Works says six kilometres of the westbound lane from the Ellershouse bridge east will be completed by late fall.

Hants West MLA Melissa Sheehy-Richard says it’s an important investment on the well-used stretch of road.

A tender for the work will soon be issued.

The government has announced similar projects for other sections of the 100-series highways.
