SMOOTHING THE RIDE FOR TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY MOTORISTS

Released on August 8, 2012

$3.5 Million on Resurfacing Near Chaplin

Crews are scheduled to begin work on about 10 km of paving on the Trans-Canada highway east of Chaplin this week. The $3.5 million upgrade will lead to a smoother surface for travellers on the eastbound lanes of Highway 1.

"We're working hard to meet the needs of a growing province by investing in highways and infrastructure," Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. "Some jurisdictions are facing growing debt and sluggish economies, while we're living in a province that has a balanced budget, a robust economy, low unemployment and is investing in the future. The repaving near Chaplin is one example of how we're planning for more growth."

New highway construction activity expected to get underway this week includes patching on Highway 2 north of Wakaw, seal coating on Highway 3 near Spiritwood and Shell Lake, paving on Highway 8 near Langenburg, patching on Highway 15 near Kenaston, paving near Esterhazy on Highway 22 and patching on Highway 42 near Lucky Lake.

Motorists are advised to watch for highway crews as work continues to improve Saskatchewan's roads.

The weekly provincial highway construction update is posted to the Highway Hotline Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SaskatchewanHighwayHotline and Tweeted @SKGovHwyHotline.
