IMPROVING HIGHWAY 13 NEAR PANGMAN

Released on February 6, 2002

A tender has been awarded for resurfacing 20.6 km of Highway 13 west of

Pangman this construction season.



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

Transportation Minister Mark Wartman said. "Work for this $2.5 million

resurfacing project will begin in early July and should be completed by

late August. Completion of this job will require an estimated 44 full-time

workers."



The improvement project on Highway 13 will begin 5 km west of the junction

with Highway 6, and continue 20.6 km west. The project will end

approximately 1 km west of Ogema. Work began this week on gravel crushing

and stockpiling in preparation for construction.



Carmacks Enterprises Ltd. was awarded the resurfacing contract.



"Highway 13 has experienced an increase in truck traffic, leading to

rutting and rough sections on this highway," Wartman said. "We are

resurfacing it to repair the deterioration which has taken place in recent

years. Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation is working hard to fix

roads across the province to 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.



The department's budget this year is a record $311.7 million, which will

help to resurface and upgrade 550 km of rural and northern highways.
