The New Brunswick government's plans to build a $600 million twin highway between Fredericton and Moncton has been halted due to the discovery of an Aboriginal burial site in Gemseg.

Red ochre, commonly associated with ancient Native burial sites, was discovered in March while crews were preparing an area for the building of a bridge over the Gemseg River. The discovery immediately halted construction until further testing of the soil could be completed.
