PROVINCE PARTNERS WITH CITY OF REGINA TO REPAVE RING ROAD FROM WASCANA PARKWAY TO VICTORIA AVENUE

Released on July 10, 2013

The northbound lanes of Regina’s Ring Road from Wascana Parkway to north of the Victoria Avenue interchange will be repaved starting tomorrow, thanks to an agreement between the City of Regina and Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure who will provide $2 million in provincial funding toward the project.

This project includes pavement rehabilitation on the Ring Road northbound from Wascana Parkway to just north of Victoria Avenue and on all seven northbound entrance and exit ramps (southeast Wascana Parkway, northeast Wascana Parkway, southeast Assiniboine Avenue, southeast Arcola Avenue, northeast Arcola Avenue, southeast Victoria Avenue and northeast Victoria Avenue).  The total length is 11 km.

“Regina has experienced momentous growth over the past year, resulting in higher traffic volumes and more wear and tear on road infrastructure,” Minister of Highways and Infrastructure Don McMorris said.  "We recognize the challenges associated with rapid growth in Saskatchewan cities and are pleased to be part of the solution moving forward."

“The City of Regina is pleased to partner with the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure to invest in much-needed improvements to the Ring Road,” City of Regina Mayor Michael Fougere said.  “We will continue to invest in our roads and bridges and whenever possible look for partnerships to help ease the high cost of infrastructure repairs.”

The province will provide funding under the Urban Highway Connector Program (UHCP), a provincial program under the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure that provides for the care, maintenance and operations of designated urban roadways that connect directly to the provincial highway system.

The province will be contributing $2 million towards this estimated $3.5 million project. Construction is underway now and is estimated to be complete by the end of August.
