Motorists should expect to see construction crews out on Saskatchewan highways well into fall as more than 30 highway projects are currently underway.
"Mild fall conditions have allowed construction projects to continue later into the season," Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. "Crews will be hard at work until the ground freezes up. Remember to always slow to 60 km/hr in work zones so construction can be done safely."
New projects underway in the province this week include a $1.9 million landslide repair on Highway 2 at Buffalo Pound Lake and a $330,000 culvert installation on Highway 11 at Girvin. Both projects may require traffic to be reduced to one lane at times and drivers should expect delays.
The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on current projects to help plan safe and efficient travel throughout the summer and fall. To learn more about Saskatchewan work zones, head to www.highways.gov.sk.ca/workzone/.
