Paving Begins on Highway 7 Twinning

Released on September 29, 2016

Paving is underway on the newly twinned section of Highway 7 between Saskatoon and Vanscoy. The first phase of the 25 kilometre project is scheduled to open in time for people travelling to visit family this Thanksgiving weekend. 

“People commuting to work at potash mines in addition to growing interprovincial truck traffic will benefit from this project,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “The new lanes will improve safety, increase capacity and enhance traffic flow.”


Pre-work for Highway 7 twinning from Vanscoy to Delisle is continuing.  

New highway construction scheduled to begin this week includes surfacing work on Highway 25 near Hagen and culvert installations on Highway 35. Meanwhile, construction has been completed on Highway 1 near Belle Plaine and Highway 35 near Elfros.

The Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline provides details about construction, closures, the status of ferries and barges, along with other activities.  The provincial road information service 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.

Follow the Hotline on Twitter @SKGovHwyHotline for information about closures, travel not recommended alerts, and the opening and closing of ferries.  Additional highway information can be found on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SaskatchewanHighwayHotline.

Construction season photos are available at www.highways.gov.sk.ca/2016construction.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $6.3 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 11,000 kilometres of provincial roads.
