RM OF HUMBOLDT — A tender to build a southbound bypass lane at the Highway 20 – Manor Park Road intersection south of Humboldt has been issued by the provincial government.
The tender was part of a package the province releases in the spring to give contractors time to prepare to bid on upcoming projects. The entire package is estimated to cost $85.4 million.
A highways ministry spokesperson said they don’t release estimated costs of specific projects in the package so as to not to influence the bidding.
“As our recent budget shows, investing in projects that ensure the safety and integrity of our transportation network remains a top priority for this government,” said Fred Bradshaw, the highways minister, in a media release.
“Through stimulus spending and early tendering of capital projects like these, we are wisely investing as part of our pandemic recovery while also ensuring good jobs in the construction industry that help grow our economy.”
The province said it is improving more than 1,350 kilometres of highways this year.
