The dirt has to go somewhere
Q: What is the construction going on at the northwest corner of Highway 406 and Merritt Road about?
A: It`s not quite a construction site, yet.
Bob Nichols, Ministry of Transportation spokesman, said in an e-mail that the contractor doing the QEW expansion in St. Catharines is stockpiling excess excavated earth at Highway 406 and Merritt Road in Thorold, which is ministry-owned land.
Nichols said the ministry will eventually use this earth on future Highway 406 expansion work to reduce the quantity of fill material that would otherwise need to be imported for the job.
