Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley today announced9.4 km of resurfacing on Highway No. 11, from 18.4 km north of Dundurn
to 27.8 km north.
"This $750,000 project will begin in mid-September and is planned for
completion by mid-October," Bradley said. "The resurfacing will
protect our investment in the existing pavement and give a smoother
ride for motorists. At the same time, it will provide much needed
pavement strength to handle increasing truck traffic now and for the
next decade."
ASL Paving Ltd. was awarded the project as the lowest of five bidders.
An estimated 20 people will be employed on the project.
"Our $219 million department budget has enabled us to enjoy a
productive construction season and we remain busy with both
construction and maintenance," Bradley said. "As we work to improve
our highways, I urge motorists to exercise caution in the Orange Zone
and remember to slow to 60 km/h."
