The Fredericton Moncton Highway is a 195 km, four-lane, controlled access highway between Longs Creek, near Fredericton, and Magnetic Hill, near Moncton. Opened in the fall of 2001, the Fredericton Moncton Highway is world-class, built to New Brunswick's high standards for highway construction and quality assurance. A total of 20 interchanges and 89 structures (bridges, overpasses, underpasses, water crossings) were constructed as part of the project, including two high-level bridges over the Saint John and Jemseg River – each one kilometre in length.

The highway crosses 180 watercourses, including 30 with trout/salmon populations, and a 5-km section passes through one of New Brunswick’s sensitive wetlands, the Grand Lake Meadows. Dexter was responsible for 19km of grading, grubbing, and drainage as a subcontractor to MRDC, and we had to manage within the Environmental Management Plan created by MRDC while developing Site Specific Environmental Protection Plans for each watercourse encountered. This entailed continual contact with federal and provincial regulators on the field level as well as MRDC staff. In addition, Dexter created an integrated work plan to control mobilization of the numerous excavators, trucks, dozers, graders and survey equipment
