Watch for Farm Equipment on the Highway this Long Weekend

Released on May 18, 2018

People travelling this May long weekend are reminded to be aware of large farm machinery on provincial highways.

“I urge travellers to be patient and aware of the large farm equipment on our highways,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said.  “Spring seeding is a busy time of year for the agriculture industry, so please travel safely and allow everyone the opportunity to enjoy the long weekend with their friends and loved ones.”

To learn more about transporting farm equipment, producers can visit www.saskatchewan.ca/business/transportation-and-road-construction/information-for-truckers-and-commercial-trucking-companies/moving-farm-equipment.

In addition to farm equipment, drivers also need to be aware of construction taking place on numerous highways this weekend.  Plan ahead and be patient when entering a highway construction work zone.  There may be cases when workers are not present that require you to slow down.  A sharp pavement drop or loose stones are examples of hazards that warrant a slower posted speed.  You can report highway work zone signing problems by calling 306-244-5535.


There are a number of highway improvement projects getting underway this week including:
  • Surfacing on Highway 4 near Cadillac;
  • Culvert installation on Highway 8 near Kamsack;
  • Surfacing on Highway 32 near Cabri;
  • Bridge construction on Highway 40 near Krydor;
  • Paving on Highway 80 near Churchbridge; and
  • Surfacing on Highway 322 near Silton.
If you’re planning a trip, be sure to check the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline.  The Highway Hotline provides up-to-date information on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges and other road activities.  Information is also available by calling 511.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested more than $8 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 12,000 km of Saskatchewan highways.
