PAVING CONTRACT AWARDED FOR HIGHWAY 16 NEAR RADISSON

Released on June 21, 2000

About 10.5 km of Highway 16 in the Radisson area will be repaved to create a

smoother driving surface for travellers.



The contract for this work was awarded to ASL Paving Ltd. of Saskatoon as the

lowest of five bidders.



"Work is expected to begin on this $1.4 million project in mid-August and will

be completed by mid-September," Highways and Transportation Minister Maynard

Sonntag said. "Completion of this job will require an estimated 18 full-time

workers."



The paving work will take place at various locations along Highway 16 between

Langham and Maymont.



"As part of our National Highway System, it's important to keep Highway 16 in

good condition for the high volume of traffic it carries," Sonntag said.



Across the province, there will be 101 major projects on 53 different

highways. Highways and Transportation's 2000 budget is $250 million, the

largest in the department's history.



Motorists are asked to drive safely through the Orange Zone and watch for

construction signs and equipment.
