On the heels of the opening of the Route 1 Gateway project, leaders on both sides of the border are talking about the East-West Highway.
It would cut across Maine linking up with New Brunswick.
Maine Governor Paul Lepage says the idea is farther ahead now than it was a decade ago and says there is talk of more engineering work next year.
Premier David Alward says the project is supported on this side of the border adding the Saint John business community is a strong advocate for it to be done.
