A pilot project in Nova Scotia will allow double 53-ft. semi-trailers to be hauled by a single tractor-trailer on selected stretches of highway. Officials are hoping that these long-combination vehicles (LCVs) will help increase business to the Port of Halifax, transloading facilities and other transportation partners. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal will assess the vehicles on selected fourlane highways. "LCVs will help expand business and competitiveness in Nova Scotia," said Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Minister Murray Scott. "They will help increase Nova Scotia's competitiveness with other East Coast ports, and boost the transportation industry in this province."
