Significant Upgrades Starting on Highway 26 South of Loon Lake

Released on October 1, 2015

Weekly Construction Update

A $10 million project is underway on Highway 26 south of Loon Lake that will result in a wider and sturdier paved road.  Starting this week, crews will be replacing two culverts and extending 13 culverts to accommodate the wider road.

Throughout the winter, material will be hauled in to prepare for work next construction season.  The project is expected to be completed in fall 2016.

This week, paving is underway on 10 km of Highway 56 from Fort Qu’Appelle to the Pasqua Lake access.  New bridges are also being constructed on Highway 165 near La Ronge and on Highway 13 west of Cadillac.  All three projects are expected to be completed by mid to late-October.

Commuters travelling through Swift Current on Highway 1 can resume their normal travel schedules as a 15 km paving project is officially complete.  This $6 million project took just over five weeks from start to finish.

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