Planes, Trucks, and Automobiles will Enjoy more than 22 Kilometres of Newly Paved Road

Released on August 20, 2015

Weekly Construction Update

Crews completed more than $29 million worth of major projects this week that included grading and paving work and two culvert installations.

As the result of a $4.9 million investment, air traffic at the Buffalo Narrows Airport will experience smoother runways, taxiways and aprons.  This airport is an important base for the provincial water bomber fleet and this investment will ensure those planes are able to take-off, land, and taxi on a smoother surface.

Travel between Gravelbourg and Lafleche will now be smoother and safer after the completion of $18 million in grading and paving work.  Additional paving is currently in progress on Highway 43, east of Gravelbourg, and is expected to finish up this fall.

A major paving project on 10 km of Highway 33 between Lajord and Kronau starts this week, with completion anticipated in October.  There are also seal coating and culvert projects beginning on Highway 6 near Southey.

Additional travel information about emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges, and other road activities can also be found on the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/live/transportation/highway-hotline.  It's also available by calling 306-787-7623 in Regina, 306-933-8333 in Saskatoon, the SaskTel cellular network at *ROAD, and toll-free across Canada at 1-888-335-7623.

Drivers are reminded to observe posted speed limits in construction zones and slow to 60 km/hr when passing highway workers and equipment.

The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe and efficient travel throughout the summer and fall.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested a record $5.2 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.
