Work began bright and early on Trunk Road Monday with heavy equipment and flagging staff taking over the upper portion of the cove.

Just in time for the season’s first heat wave, road repaving’s begun in Snug Cove.

Crawling traffic and a 20-minute ferry delay were among the consequences Monday of the long-expected resurfacing.

Affected areas include Trunk Road and a small portion of Dorman Road.

Roadwork is expected to take up to two weeks, during which cove traffic will be reduced to a single lane from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.

“Resurfacing includes grinding down the existing pavement, re-paving and then painting new lines,” says the BIM website.

“We appreciate your patience while we complete this work before the peak of the summer season.”
