A $27 million twinning project east of Estevan along Highway 39 aimed at improving safety and efficiency for motorists and truckers, officially opens to traffic today.
“The completion of this project demonstrates our government’s commitment to investing in infrastructure that improves the safety and efficiency of Saskatchewan highways,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “We are pleased to see this double lane highway open to traffic and thank the residents in the area for their patience during construction. Our government looks forward to the benefits this section of highway will provide to the people of Saskatchewan as well as the trucking industry.”
The new two-lane overpass constructed south of the newly-twinned portion allows trucks safe access to nearby coal deposits for the area’s power plant. The junction of Highways 39 and 18 east of Estevan near Bienfait has also been re-aligned to 90 degree angles, which will improve safety and sightlines for motorists. Additional components of the project include intersection improvements at Highway 39 and Sawyer Road at Estevan.
The Government of Canada is contributing up to $12.5 million to the project under the New Building Canada Fund’s Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component, National and Regional Projects. The Government of Saskatchewan will fund the remaining portion.
Motorists are reminded that some cleanup work will continue. Watch for workers and obey posted speeds.
About $7.4 billion has been invested in highways and infrastructure since 2008 in Saskatchewan.
