Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley today announced a13.1 km paving project on Highway 6 south of Ceylon.
"This $1.2 million project is expected to start in mid May and is
planned for completion in late June 1999," Bradley said. "An
estimated 31 jobs will be involved."
Anderson Rental and Paving Ltd. was awarded the contract for the
paving project as the lowest of eight bidders. The Highway 6 project
will be done 9.7 km to 22.8 km south of the Junction of Highway 377
for a total distance of 13.1 km. The $1.2 million project cost
includes department-supplied materials and services.
"The department budget increased by $15 million this year so our
construction seasons continue to get busier and busier," Bradley said.
"We are working hard to preserve our investment in the Saskatchewan
highway system. This project is part of our efforts to improve our
north/south corridors."
