Connecting with the Highway Hotline

Released on October 5, 2017

With a busy traffic weekend expected for Thanksgiving, the Government of Saskatchewan would like to remind motorists that the Highway Hotline is always at your fingertips.

“Motorists travelling to visit family and friends this Thanksgiving weekend are reminded to continue watching for work zones,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said.  “Remember to slow to 60 km/hr when approaching the work zone and watch for flaggers, signs, equipment and other hazards.”

Motorist can connect to the Hotline in a number of different ways including online through a mobile website or by calling 511.  Several other provinces use the 511 system for road conditions including Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.

If you’re planning on travel, check the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline, which provides up-to-date information on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges and other road activities.

The weekly highway construction update is published on www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/transportation/highway-construction-projects/weekly-highway-construction-update to provide the travelling public with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe and efficient travel.  You can also report a highway work zone signing problem by calling 306-244-5535.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $7.4 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 12,000 kms of Saskatchewan highways.
