RM OF NIPAWN — The provincial government is asking drivers to be aware of highway construction and work zones on Highway 255 near Tobin Lake this Canada Day long weekend.
They also highlighted road construction at eight other sites across the province.
“Whether you’re planning a road trip to the lake or driving to visit friends, it’s a good idea to plan ahead by checking in with the highway hotline,” said Lori Carr, the provincial highways minister, in a release. “Our crews will be out working all weekend, so please drive carefully for your safety and theirs.”
The province is asking drivers to be alert when approaching construction zones, and comply with the posted signage and speed limits.
“We have recently had some close calls with drivers in the construction zones and were fortunate no one was seriously hurt,” said Josh Safronet, HJR Asphalt CEO, in a release. “Our workers are vulnerable in these areas and we can’t stress enough how critical it is for drivers to slow down and pay attention to the posted signs and speed limits.”
