According to the fire chief, as of Wednesday, there have been 400 collisions on the stretch of Highway 104 between Sutherlands River and Antigonish since 2009. 

The Nova Scotia government is proposing tolls to pay for half the cost of twinning eight sections of highway across the province.

Public consultations on the twinning feasibility study will get underway next week, and people can voice their opinions at gatherings across the province until March.

A collision on Highway 107 last week killed a young mother and sent four others to hospital with serious injuries.
