A tender has been awarded to resurface a 19.4 km section of Highway 11 north ofBethune.
ASL Paving Ltd. of Saskatoon was awarded this project as the lowest of five
bidders.
"Work will begin on this $1.9 million project in late May 2001 and should be
completed in mid-July," Highways and Transportation Minister Maynard Sonntag
said. "Completion of this job will require an estimated 25 full-time workers."
This resurfacing project will take place in the northbound lanes on Highway 11
from the junction of Highway 354 at Bethune to the junction of Highway 2 west
of Findlater.
"It's important to keep our high volume highways, such as Highway 11, in good
condition," Sonntag said. "Motorists in this area will notice major
improvements to Highway 11 once work is completed next construction season."
Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation's budget received a $24 million
injection by the provincial government this fall to fix Saskatchewan roads.
This brings the Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation budget to a record
$274 million.
