Resurfacing on a 22.5 km section of Highway 37 south of Gull Lake is now
complete.
"This resurfacing is part of our commitment to building better highways,"
Highways and Transportation Minister Mark Wartman said. "The project has
helped revitalize this highway."
The $3.1 million improvement project on Highway 37 began at Gull Lake and
continued south for 22.5 km.
This project was identified in the 2001-02 Winter Tender Schedule worth an
estimated $86.8 million for Saskatchewan highways. The Winter Tender
Schedule ensures timely and efficient delivery of highway improvements each
spring.
"In Saskatchewan, highways are a lifeline - connecting us to one another
and driving economic development," Wartman said. "The completed
improvements to Highway 35 demonstrate once again that transportation is a
priority for the Government of Saskatchewan."
The government has committed $293 million to building better highways in
2002-03. 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.
