RESURFACING COMPLETE ON HIGHWAY 13 NEAR LAFLECHE

Released on July 26, 2002

Resurfacing is now complete on a 24.5 km section of Highway 13 near

Lafleche.



"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 9 km east of Lafleche and ended

16.2 km west of Lafleche. The improvements included a double asphalt seal

coat as a finished surface. The contractor on the job was W. F. Botkin Ltd.



"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

2002-03. 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.
