Guests to the Greenwater Lake Provincial Park will soon notice some construction as the province is improving roads.
Work will soon be completed on a significant paving and road repair project that includes a portion of Highway 38 and roads inside Greenwater Lake Provincial Park.
The paving is expected to finish by mid-August on the 23-kilometre portion of Highway 38 north of the junction with Highway 49. Another 10 kilometres of road is being paved inside the park with some repairs as well. The total investment comes out to be $10.9 million.
"Saskatchewan's parks have been extremely popular destinations this summer," Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw said. "I am proud that the government has been able to enhance the experience both inside and leading to Greenwater Lake and other provincial parks."
That's not the only road improvements set to be done in the area, as another 3.6 kilometres of paving on Highway 38 from Chelan to the south has been added. It is set to be completed in 2022 at the cost of $1.8 million, bringing the total investment to $12.7 million.
"Having grown up in the Greenwater Lake area, I know the park is a very popular destination," Kelvington-Wadena MLA Hugh Nerlien said. "Our residents will also appreciate this investment in Highway 38, which is a very important roadway in our local transportation network."
The construction is a part of $90.5 million of construction happening this year in and around Saskatchewan's parks.
