MOTORISTS WILL BENEFIT FROM $6.7 MILLION MAKEOVER FOR HIGHWAY 40

Released on October 10, 2012

Weekly Provincial Highway Construction Update

Despite cooler weather, many highway improvements continue in the province including a $6.7 million repaving project on Highway 40 near Shellbrook. The 14 kilometres from the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 3 southwest of Shellbrook is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2013.

"We've made good progress on many of our highway construction projects this year, and if the weather continues to co-operate, we'll continue roadbuilding into November," Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. "Projects such as the repaving of Highway 40 near Shellbrook are key to ensuring our transportation system continues to provide efficient and safe travel for motorists and freight haulers."

New activity for this update period includes construction of turning lanes and one acceleration lane on Highway 1 just east of Regina and paving on Highway 16 between Foam Lake and Leslie.

The weekly provincial highway construction update is posted to the Highway Hotline Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SaskatchewanHighwayHotline and tweeted @SKGovHwyHotline.
