From Tara Mullowney's report in today's Telegram on the big infrastructure announcement:
The work to be done on the Trans-Labrador Highway includes widening and hard-surfacing. Provincial Transportation and Works Minister Dianne Whalen said 200 kilometres of the highway will be widened this summer, and 40 kilometres will be hard-surfaced.

Labrador City Mayor Graham Letto, in St. John's for the announcement, called the announcement "gratifying," and said it was a long time coming.

"We've always said that the most important thing that could happen to Labrador for economic development is a good transportation system," he explained. "What we're seeing today is the beginning of that and, hopefully, that hard-surfacing across Labrador will enhance the transportation system immensely and provide the opportunity to get goods in and out of Labrador.

Letto said he's confident the highway can be completed with the money allotted, but if not, he'll be "knocking on those doors again" for the rest.
Define "the highway".

And define "completed".
