Smoother Ride in Store for Motorists on Highway 11

Released on May 26, 2016

A $12.5 million investment will result in 50 kilometres of new pavement on Highway 11 between Regina and Saskatoon.  This work will provide a smoother ride for traffic heading to Rider games later this summer.

In addition to being the primary route between two major cities with a combined population exceeding 500,000, Highway 11 also links to Highways 1, 16 and 6 which lead Manitoba, Alberta and the US.  As Saskatchewan’s population and economy have grown, so has traffic on this important route, which currently sees more than 7,700 vehicles a day.

Work is already underway, with crews busy paving southbound lanes north of Girvin and Bladworth, and 11 kilometres of northbound lanes near Dundurn.  These projects are expected to finish up in July.


Additional plans include paving 20 kilometres of northbound lanes on Highway 11 near Kenaston, which is expected to start in early June and finish in August this year.

Plan your road trip by checking the Highway Hotline at http://hotline.gov.sk.ca/map/.  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 306-787-7623 in Regina, 306-933-8333 in Saskatoon and toll-free across Canada at 1-888-335-7623.

Since 2008, the Government of Saskatchewan has invested a record $5.2 billion in transportation infrastructure, improving 10,000 kilometres of highway across the province.
