Resurfacing is complete on a 6.9 km section of Highway 7 near Delisle."Work for this $900,000 resurfacing project was completed on time,"
Highways and Transportation Minister Pat Atkinson said. "This project
created 20 full-time jobs."
The project on Highway 7 took place approximately 25 km west of Delisle and
continued west for 6.9 km.
"Highway 7 is a busy highway that links Saskatoon and Calgary and also
links Saskatoon and southwestern Saskatchewan," Atkinson said. "This
highway has seen an increase in heavy traffic volumes and it's important to
keep this road in good driving condition."
Potzus Paving & Road Maintenance Ltd. of Yorkton was awarded this
resurfacing project.
Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation's budget this year is a record
$311.7 million, which will help to improve the major highway system that
carries 65 per cent of provincial traffic.
