IMPROVING HIGHWAY 7 NEAR MARENGO

Released on June 2, 2004

Resurfacing on a 6 km section of Highway 7 near Marengo is now underway.

The improvement project on Highway 7 is taking place from 5.7 km east to 0.3 km west of Marengo. Work on this $908,000 project should be complete by late June. ASL Paving Ltd. of Saskatoon is the contractor.

"This project will improve Highway 7 near the Alberta border, enhancing an important part of the National Highway System in west central Saskatchewan," Highways and Transportation Minister Maynard Sonntag said. "This improvement also supports regional economic development and inter-provincial trade."

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/hr 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.
