Highway 2 near Liberty will soon receive resurfacing improvements."Work for this resurfacing project is anticipated to begin this week and
should be completed by late August," Highways and Transportation Minister
Pat Atkinson said.
Warner Construction Co. Ltd. was awarded this resurfacing. The project is
valued at $750,000 and will create an estimated 15 jobs.
The resurfacing project on 8.2 km of several sections on Highway 2 will
take place between the Village of Liberty and the junction of Highway 15.
"It's important to keep our rural highways in good condition," Atkinson
said. "By repairing several sections, we will be able to effectively fix
those highways most in need."
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.
