Council goes ahead with bypass road plan

City council is moving ahead with plans to design a bypass road to cut down on congestion at the Four Corners.

The proposed road would pass south of the new Justice building, providing drivers on the ring road with another route to Federal Road.

This week council awarded the engineering design contract for the bypass road to TROW Associates Inc. for $59,400 plus GST.

The city plans to build the road next summer.
