IMPROVING HIGHWAY 11 NEAR MACDOWALL

Released on February 6, 2002

A tender has been awarded for resurfacing 8.4 km of Highway 11 northeast of

Macdowall this construction season.



"We are maintaining our focus on fixing the roads," Highways and

Transportation Minister Mark Wartman said. "Road work for this $680,000

resurfacing project is anticipated to begin in early May, and should be

completed by late September. Completion of this job will require an

estimated 24 full-time workers."



The improvement project on Highway 11 will begin 2.3 km north of the

Macdowall access and will continue north for 8.4 km. Work will begin this

week on gravel crushing, haul and stockpiling in preparation for

construction.



Potzus Paving and Road Maintenance Ltd. of Yorkton was awarded this

resurfacing project.



"Highway 11 has seen an increase in truck traffic, leading to wear and tear

on this highway," Wartman said. "We are resurfacing a section of this

highway as it has deteriorated over the past number of years. Saskatchewan

Highways and Transportation is working hard to fix roads across the

province and improve driver safety."



This project was identified in the 2001/2002 Winter Tender Schedule for

Saskatchewan highway work, worth an estimated $86.8 million. The Winter

Tender Schedule ensures timely and efficient delivery of highway

improvements this spring.



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.
