Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley is alertingmotorists to use caution as they encounter maintenance or construction
projects this busy road construction season.
"For the first time in recent years, contractors have been able to get
earlier starts than anticipated on highway work," Bradley said. "Work
is being completed on projects from the last construction season and
new work from this year's $219 million department budget is also
getting underway."
Work is underway on this project in your area:
Grading and paving are being done on Highway No. 368 from the
Junction of Highway No. 5 to Grid No. 756 for a total distance of
14.8 km. Dallas Construction Ltd. began work this year in early
May on the $3.1 million project which is planned for completion
by October 1998.
"We are working hard to improve Saskatchewan highways. This summer
you will see many construction zones across the province and I urge
people to drive carefully and follow the 60 km speed limit in those
Orange Zones," Bradley said.
