The new equipment – more than 80 pieces in total – includes a new way of handling asphalt that will result in better, longer-lasting pothole repairs. New front-end loaders will have brush cutters that can do a better job reaching under guardrails and across shoulders.

Each area of the province will have a dedicated crew assigned using the pothole and cutting equipment. Summer students will also participate in trash collection along highways.
