  The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and the federal government completed the final section of the Team Gushue Highway under a joint $30 million investment through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The multi-year project extended the highway from Topsail Road to the Commonwealth Avenue, Brookfield Road, and Heavy Tree Road area, incorporating two new roundabouts, an overpass structure, auxiliary access roads, and the re-alignment of Brookfield Road into Brookfield Place. The completed transportation link connects Pitts Memorial Drive and Robert E. Howlett Memorial Drive, improving regional connectivity across the Northeast Avalon, easing traffic congestion between St. John's and Mount Pearl, and facilitating direct access to health care and post-secondary facilities for southern Avalon residents.
