  • Cooper Boulevard Roundabout Construction
    The Town of Gander is excited to announce that construction has begun for a new roundabout at the intersection of Cooper Boulevard and Memorial Drive.
    Why a Roundabout?
    This initiative comes in response to increased traffic on Cooper Boulevard, with funding allocated during the 2024 budget process. A comprehensive report by traffic engineers recommended the roundabout as the best solution to improve long-term safety at this busy intersection. The project is cost-shared through the provincial Multi-Year Capital Works funding program.
    Key Benefits:
    • Improved Safety: Roundabouts reduce the risk of accidents and promote safer driving.
    • Better Traffic Flow: They help minimize congestion and delays.
    • Formalized Pedestrian Crossings: Enhanced safety and visibility for pedestrians.
    We understand that the introduction of a roundabout in the community may cause some uncertainty. The Town is committed to providing ongoing information and educational resources to ensure a smooth transition.
