SEVEN NEW PROJECTS UNDERWAY ON SASKATCHEWAN HIGHWAYS THIS WEEK

Released on August 15, 2013

Drivers on Saskatchewan highways should be aware of workers and equipment in the coming week, as a variety of new projects are set to begin.  The new work brings the total number of large projects currently underway in the province to well over 40.

“Construction crews are hard at work across Saskatchewan on highway maintenance and upgrades, bridge replacements and culvert installations, among other work,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said.  “Construction often means that traffic is down to one lane and you must always slow to 60 km/h, so make sure you check ahead and set aside some extra time if you’re going to be passing through a work zone.”

New work underway this week includes repaving on Highway 2 north of Prince Albert, resurfacing on Highway 1 from Waldeck to Rush Lake, a landslide repair on Highway 1 near Belle Plaine, a culvert repair on Highway 41 near Ethelton, a pair of seal coating projects on Highway 7 and a seal coating project on Highway 4 near Rosetown.

The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on projects underway to help to plan safe and efficient travel throughout the summer and fall.
