Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley today announced a13 km grading project on Highway 965 east of Jans Bay.
"This $1.7 million project is expected to start at the beginning of
May and is planned for completion by mid September, 1999," Bradley
said. "An estimated 33 jobs will be involved."
Dallas Oilfield Contractors Ltd. was awarded the contract for the
grading project as the lowest of six bidders. The Highway 965 project
extends 8.2 km west of its junction with Highway 155 to 21.2 km west
of its junction with Highway 155 for a total distance of 13 km. The
$1.7 million project 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."
