Highway Construction Continuing Despite Early Snowfall

Released on October 13, 2016

Despite snow recently hitting Saskatchewan, motorists are reminded to watch for construction zones, as bridge, culvert and some grading projects can continue in colder temperatures.

“People travelling in colder weather are reminded to continue to watch for road work zones,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said.  “Please obey all construction signs so crews working in freezing temperatures get home safely.”

Various bridge projects across the province with impacts to people include Highway 3 near Carrot River, Highway 4 south of Meadow Lake, Highway 18 near Ferland, along with three bridges on Highway 165 near La Ronge.  Bridge work that can occur throughout the winter includes pile driving, welding, and installation of prefabricated components.

Culvert work includes Highway 34 near the Canada-United States Border, Highway 34 near Big Beaver, Highway 35 near Aylsham, and Highway 123 north of Carrot River.  Grading work includes Highways 44 and 21 near Glidden, Highway 27 near the Highway 41 junction near Aberdeen, and Highways 44 and 21 near Glidden.

The Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline provides details about construction, road conditions, closures, the status of ferries and barges, along with other activities.  The provincial road information service is also available by calling 306-787-7623 in Regina, 306-933-8333 in Saskatoon and toll-free across Canada at 1-888-335-7623.

Follow the Hotline on Twitter @SKGovHwyHotline for information about closures, travel not recommended alerts, and the opening and closing of ferries.  Additional highway information can be found on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SaskatchewanHighwayHotline.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $6.3 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 11,000 kilometres of provincial roads.
