HALIFAX – Nova Scotia’s transport minister says a feasibility study on new toll roads should be ready this spring.

Geoff MacLellan says public opinion surveys suggest residents aren’t necessarily against the idea.

However, MacLellan says the polls also suggest the public wants to see details of the government’s plan before deciding.

The tolls would be used to help pay for the twinning of up to eight sections of 100-series highways.

The Liberal government has pledged to hold 16 rounds of public hearings on the matter.
