Construction seasons will be busy in the coming years as the province and federal government announced funding for 8 highway improvement projects yesterday.
Certain sections of the Trans-Canada highway, along with PTHs 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 16, and 75 will be repaved. As well, new lanes will be added along a 6 kilometer stretch of PTH 6, and rumble strips will be added at various intersections.
Just under $22,000,000 will be spent on repaving the section of PTH 5 West of Dauphin from the North junction of PTH 10 to the West junction of road 274. As well, PTH 5 from Roblin to the Saskatchewan border, and PTH 10 North of Minnedosa will be repaved.
Just over $36,000,000 is to be invested in repaving 3 sections of PTH 16: From East of the South junction of PTH 83 to road 472, from PTH 21 to the West junction of road 250, and from West of road 242 to East of road 242.
Finally, $54,000,000 will go toward Phase 2 of the rehabilitation work on PTH 6. The funding also includes the section of PTH 6 that will get new lanes.
All together, approximately $291,000,000 in funding will be provided for the 8 projects.
