IMPROVING HIGHWAY 102 IN NORTHERN SASKATCHEWAN

Released on July 15, 2004

Construction is underway on sections of Highway 102 in northern Saskatchewan.

Spot improvements, valued at $400,000, will be taking place from approximately 5 km north of Feldspar Lake and approximately 10 km north of Brabant Lake. The contractor on these projects is Brown Construction from Air Ronge. Construction should be complete by mid-September.

"These improvements are part of our commitment to building better highways," Highways and Transportation Minister Maynard Sonntag said. "The work on Highway 102 will improve safety and support regional economic development in northern Saskatchewan, demonstrating once again that transportation is a priority for the Government of Saskatchewan."

Additional work on Highway 102 includes the completion of the surface stabilization project, started in 2003, from Waddy River to 24 km south. The contractors completing this project are Brown Construction and Robin's Hauling. The work is anticipated to be done in July.

The Waddy River bridge will also be replaced on Highway 102 this construction season.

All of the work is being cost-shared with industry partners Cameco Corporation, Cogema Resources Ltd., Cigar Lake Mining and Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation.

The public is advised that there will be an occasional disruption of traffic during the construction period.

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. For more information about construction in your area, view the provincial project map at: www.highways.gov.sk.ca.
