RESURFACING COMPLETE ON HIGHWAY 13 WEST OF PANGMAN

Released on August 26, 2002

Resurfacing is now complete on 20.6 km section of Highway 13 west of

Pangman.



"This resurfacing is part of our commitment to building better highways,"

Highways and Transportation Minister Mark Wartman said. "The project has

helped revitalize Highway 13 - improving a key east-west trade and

transportation corridor."



The $2.5 million improvement project began 5 km west of the junction with

Highway 6, and continued to Ogema. Carmacks Enterprises Ltd. was awarded

the contract for the resurfacing project.



"In Saskatchewan, highways are a lifeline - connecting us to one another

and driving economic development," Wartman said. "The completed

improvements to Highway 13 demonstrate once again that transportation is a

priority for the Government of Saskatchewan."



Last construction season a total of 42 km of Highway 13 was resurfaced near

Stoughton, Weyburn and Assiniboia. This construction season, 99 km will be

resurfaced or paved near Arcola, Trossachs, Pangman, Ogema, Lafleche and

Hazenmore.



The government has committed $293 million to building better highways in

2002-2003. More than 700 km of highways will be reconstructed and paved

this year.



Motorists are reminded to reduce speed and drive safely through the Orange

Zone and to also watch for construction signs and heavy equipment during

this season of heavy road construction.
