New Brunswick premier says Aulac border toll will go ahead despite local objections
New Brunswick plans a highway toll at Aulac, near the border with Nova Scotia. A toll is money drivers pay to use a road. Only vehicles from outside New Brunswick would pay. The province expects to get $10.4 million a year for road repairs, starting in 2028. Some local members of Premier Susan Holt's Liberal Party oppose the plan. They say the money numbers are wrong. They also say it could hurt businesses in southeastern New Brunswick. On Tuesday, Holt said the toll will go ahead. But she said the government will consider their views on where to put it.
