Bay Bulls council last week awarded a contract to install a new trail connecting Lower Path Road to Winnonish Drive.
Harbour Construction Ltd., of Witless Bay will perform the work at a total cost of $19,495, plus HST.
The trail will connect the Long Pond Walking Trail off Lower Path Road with Winnonish Drive, allowing for easier access to the Long Pond trail.
“We’re trying to enhance our trail and add to our existing network, and connect it to more of the town,” said Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien.
Last year, the Town completed over $484,000 worth of upgrades to the Long Pond trail, including the installation of 1.5 kilometres of granular trail, which effectively closed the entire loop. The Town received $290,575 in provincial funding for the project and also received $193,717 in other government funding to cover the remainder of the cost.
