The Pickerel River bridge project is one of ten infrastructure projects that are receiving financial support as announced by Northern Development Minister Greg Rickford earlier this season.

Funding secured through the Federal & Provincial Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program's (ICIP) Community, Culture and Recreation (CCR) stream ensures the safe passage of snowmobilers by replacing 2 bridges and refurbishing 3, along with purchase of new equipment necessary to maintain remote sections of trails.
