RECYCLING OUR ROADS

Released on August 12, 1999

Recycling the roads! Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation is

trying new technology on highways near Watrous, Raymore and Kerrobert

to try and maintain the province's extensive road network.



The technology is called "cold-in-place recycling." The top layer of

the road is removed, recycled and mixed with an oil additive and some

new aggregate. It's then re-applied to the road bed, creating a new

driving surface. A seal is then put on top of the new road to protect

it.



"This technology allows the department to use our current investment

in the highway system to our advantage," Highways and Transportation

Minister Judy Bradley said. "If we can cut down the cost of road

repairs we do, it could save taxpayers a lot of money."



Four sections of highway will undergo cold-in-place recycling this

fall: Highway 2 south of Watrous, Highway 6 north of Raymore and

Highways 21 and 51 north and east of Kerrobert for a total distance of

18.6 km.



"This $1.2 million project demonstrates the province's commitment to

preserving our investment in the most cost-effective manner," Bradley

said.



H.J.R. Asphalt Ltd. of Saskatoon has been awarded the contract.

Work is expected to begin in mid-August.
