Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley today announced an$800,000 paving project on Highway 5 from the junction of Highway 5
and Highway 57 to the Town of Kamsack.
"This 6.6 km paving project is expected to start in early June and be
completed by mid June," Bradley said. "An estimated 43 jobs will be
involved."
HJR Asphalt Ltd. was awarded the contract as the lowest of five
bidders. The $800,000 cost includes department-supplied materials and
services.
A $15 million increase in the department's budget this year means a
very busy construction season and crews will be working hard to
improve and repair Saskatchewan roads and highways," Bradley said.
"The increased funding demonstrates our commitment to preserving our
investment in the Saskatchewan highway system."
