Released on June 3, 1999
Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley today announced a13.2 km grading and paving project on Highway 15 from Raymore to the
Semans Access.
"This $2.4 million project is expected to start in early June and is
planned for completion in early September, 1999," Bradley said. "An
estimated 80 jobs will be used to complete the project."
Carmacks Enterprises Ltd. was awarded the contract for the paving
project as the lowest of four bidders. Crews will also be widening
the existing road bed prior to placing the new surface.
The Highway No. 15 project will start from the junction of Highway No.
6 at Raymore west 13.2 km to the Semans Access for a total distance of
13.2 km. The $2.4 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.
"This work demonstrates our commitment to preserving this important
piece of highway in southern Saskatchewan."
