Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley has announced sixprojects in central Saskatchewan as part of the $234.6 million
investment announced in the provincial budget for improving our roads

Saskatchewan," Bradley said.
Highway projects in central Saskatchewan include:
Highway 3 - grading and paving at Carrot River East Access Road
(2.6 km);
Highway 20 - complete grading and paving North of Humboldt to
Pilger (21.1 km);
Highway 3 - resurfacing Prairie River to 9 km West (9.7 km);
Highway 2 - resurfacing Wakaw North (10.9 km);
Highway 38 - resurfacing North of Greenwater Park (12.6 km); and
Highway 38 - spot improvements Kuroki North (4.6 km).
Further announcements will be made as construction and major
preservation projects are tendered, project costs are determined and
as start dates and timing of projects are set.
"We will have a very busy construction season as we improve and
repair our roads and highways," Bradley said. "With so much
activity across the province this summer, people are sure to
travel through construction and maintenance zones or Orange Zones
on our highways. We want a safe construction season as well as a
productive one."
