The annual contest by CAA Atlantic brings attention to roads in the region most in need of repair. As of right now Pine Glen Road in Riverview, New Brunswick is leading the vote for the worst road, followed by Mountain Road in Christmas Island Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, and Brae Harbour Road in Coleman PEI. A number of other New Brunswick Roads are currently in the top ten voting, including Gordon Road in Miramichi.

Upgrades for Flood Prone Hospital in Perth-Andover
The New Brunswick government has issued a request for proposals for upgrades at the Hotel-Dieu of St. Joseph Hospital in Perth-Andover. Officials say the estimated 7.65-million dollar investment will allow for demolition of the section of hospital that’s prone to flooding and has been condemned since 2012. It will also allow for the construction of an essential services building on higher ground. The province says it will seek to recover costs from the federal government and the renovations will be completed by early next year.
