IMPROVING HIGHWAY 16 EAST OF LLOYDMINSTER

Released on August 18, 2004

Construction has begun on 9 km of resurfacing on Highway 16 east of Lloydminster.

Resurfacing will take place on the westbound lanes from 1.8 km west to 7.1 km east of the junction of Highway 303. Potzus Paving and Road Maintenance Ltd. of Yorkton is the contractor. This $1.5 million project will employ 24 full-time employees.

The public is advised that there will be an occasional disruption of traffic during the construction period, which should be complete by mid-September.

"Highway 16 serves as an important trade corridor and tourism link to the rest of Canada as part of the National Highway System," Highways and Transportation Minister Maynard Sonntag said. "These improvements will enhance safety and support regional economic development, demonstrating once again that transportation is a priority for the Government of Saskatchewan."

Other work on Highway 16 this construction season includes twinning 13.6 km from west of North Battleford to east of Delmas, which will be open to traffic this fall. New lanes from 6 km east of Maidstone to 4.5 km west of Maidstone will be graded in preparation for paving in 2005. Highway 16 from the Battlefords to the Alberta border will be completely twinned by 2007.

Over the past three years, the province has invested $900 million in Saskatchewan's transportation network, improving 1,000 km of paved highways, upgrading 750 km of rural highways, and twinning 172 km on Highways 1 and 16.

This year's budget provides an additional $294.8 million to improve another 740 km of major highways and 30 bridges, and twin 53 km on Highways 1 and 16 this construction season.

Remember to slow to 60 km/h when passing through the construction Orange Zone, and watch for construction workers, signs and heavy equipment.
