Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI)

The Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Transportation and Infrastructure manages over 9,700 kilometers of provincial roads across the island of Newfoundland and mainland Labrador. The Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1) is the primary freight artery connecting Port aux Basques (ferry terminal to Nova Scotia) with St. John's. The department manages Marine Atlantic ferry service connections, which are critical for moving freight between the island and mainland Canada. Commercial trucking operations in the province face unique challenges including coastal fog, severe winter weather, and the need to use ferry services for island access. DTI administers commercial vehicle permits and provides 511NL for road condition updates.
