ASSINIBOIA — Progress continues on a $10.6 million project that will improve Highways 2 and 13, while strengthening the heart of the Assiniboia community.
The 4.96 kilometre project involves the rehabilitation and repaving of Highway 2 (also known as Empire Road and Centre Street) from Leeville Street to north of Highway 13, along with Highway 13 (also known as First Avenue West and First Avenue East) from Centre Street to Leeville Street.
Curb and sidewalk replacements will be along the route.
The Ministry of Highways is allocating more than $10.17 million toward the project. The Town of Assiniboia is allocating up to $485,000.
On-site project work began this spring and is expected to be completed this fall, pending weather.
Motorists are reminded to obey all signage and flag persons in the area and to check the Highway Hotline at https://hotline.gov.sk.ca/ for construction updates before heading out.
