HIGHWAY 909 NEAR TURNOR LAKE OPENED

Released on November 1, 2001

Highway 909, a 30 km access road south of Turnor Lake, was officially

opened today.



The new road stretches from Highway 155 to 30 km north. Upgrading of

Highway 909 to Turnor Lake commenced in 1997 and was completed in September

2001.



Premier Lorne Calvert and Northern Affairs Minister and local MLA Buckley

Belanger were present to celebrate the official opening of the new road.



"Today's event symbolizes our government's commitment to northern

Saskatchewan," Premier Calvert said. "It is essential we meet the

transportation needs of those who reside in more remote areas of the

province."



"I am particularly pleased this road has been built for the benefit of

northern people, and for the northern community of Turnor Lake," Belanger

said. "Increased access means increased economic and social opportunities

for our residents."



Belanger also recognized Senator Louis Morin, former Mayor of Turnor Lake,

for his contributions to the project.



The total construction cost for the new 30 km highway is $4.4 million.

Just over 75 per cent of the jobs created to complete the work went to

residents of Saskatchewan's North.



Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation's budget this year is $311.7

million, which is helping to resurface and upgrade 550 km of rural and

northern highways.
