IMPROVING HIGHWAY 349 NEAR ARCHERWILL

Released on July 19, 2001

Improvements are set to begin on a 4.9 km section of Highway 349 near

Archerwill.



"Work for this $300,000 grading project is anticipated to begin this week

and should be completed by mid-September," Highways and Transportation

Minister Pat Atkinson said. "This job will create work for about 10 full-

time employees."



This project will begin west of the junction of Highways 349 and 38 and

will continue for a total distance of 4.9 km. The improvements will

include raising, widening and improving the strength of the subgrade and

gravelling the surface.



"This section of Highway 349 east of Archerwill will be improved greatly

once the subgrade is rebuilt," Atkinson said. "This highway has seen an

increase in heavy truck traffic. It links travelers to Greenwater

Provincial Park and needs to be upgraded to carry the current traffic

levels."



Haas Construction Ltd. was awarded this improvement project.



Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation's budget this year is a record

$311.7 million, which will help to resurface and upgrade 550 km of rural

and northern highways.
