More Than $46 Million of Planned Rural Road Network Improvements

Released on March 5, 2026

Today, the Ministry of Highways and Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) announced more than $46 million for planned road, bridge and culvert projects to keep rural Saskatchewan and the province's export-based economy moving.

Under the Rural Integrated Roads for Growth (RIRG) program, the provincial government will invest more than $16.9 million toward the 41 projects and rural municipalities (RMs) will fund the remaining more than $29.1 million.

"Saskatchewan's rural road network is the starting point for many agricultural products and other goods on their way to destinations throughout the province, across the country and around the world," Highways Minister Kim Gartner said. "This infrastructure program enhances the connectivity of Saskatchewan rural roads to the rest of the transportation network, which supports our export-based economy."

"SARM is pleased to see funding support for these important projects," Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities President Bill Huber said. "Rural Saskatchewan faces substantial transportation infrastructure needs, as many of the goods and resources driving our provincial economy originate in rural municipalities. Investing in RM roads, bridges, and culverts delivers strong economic benefits across Saskatchewan, and SARM looks forward to continuing our partnership with the Ministry of Highways to deliver the Rural Integrated Roads for Growth Program in the years ahead."

The RIRG program is funded by the Government of Saskatchewan, administered by SARM and invests in RM road infrastructure.

The program contributes up to 50 per cent per project to a maximum of $500,000 for a road and to a maximum $1 million for a large culvert or a bridge. RMs fund the remainder and are responsible for managing their approved RIRG projects, along with any additional costs.

RIRG is overseen by a joint SARM and Ministry of Highways Program Management Board.

The 41 approved projects and funding contributions are in the PDF backgrounder below.
