    MIRAMICHI - Funding previously approved for an overhaul of a section of King George Highway next year could soon be reallocated to sections of two other streets on the south side of the Miramichi River. At Tuesday’s council-in-committee meeting, engineering, infrastructure, and operations director Mark Buckingham requested council’s approval to move $1.61 million originally earmarked under the Provincial-Municipal Highway Partnership for King George to the resurfacing work planned for 1.42 kilometres of Nelson Street, from Nowlanville Road to the city limits, and 600 metres of Wellington Street, from Forest Street to civic 889. Buckingham said the provincial Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI) initially approved a plan to cost-share in revamping King George, between Regent Street and Radio Street, in 2027. However, DTI asked the city to postpone work on King George, as it serves as the detour route during the Centennial Bridge closures — which were repeatedly delayed until this year. Council will vote on the request at an upcoming meeting. “When the application was submitted for 2027, the project requested was on King George Highway and included some underground work,” said Buckingham. “When it was submitted by the previous director, there wouldn’t have been any known bridge closures coming. “This past year, DTI requested a meeting with me to discuss that project. They asked if we would consider changing the scope, as King George Highway is part of the detour route for the bridge closures.”
