Construction throughout the summer is a regular sight in Saskatchewan, and locally, there will be some construction delays taking place.
Beginning the week of August 7th, there is a highway project taking place on Highways 4 and 12 in the vicinity of Martensville, Waldheim and Swift Current. This project will include work on Highway 12 from 11.3 kms north of its junction with Highway 11 to 0.25 kms south of its junction with Highway 312 and from 0.61 km north of the Waldheim access road to 13.11 km north of the Waldheim Access Road.
The roadwork on Highway 12 will be done first, and once complete, the work on Highway 4 will begin. All work on this project is expected to be complete by August 31st. Work will consist of 92.10 kilometers of rejuvenator fog seal application.
Traffic through the work zone is anticipated to include reduced speeds of 60km/hr and one-way traffic with the use of flaggers and a pilot vehicle.
The estimated cost of this project is $971,417 including materials, construction, engineering and PST.
Work is also being done on Highway 16 to construct a reduced collision U-turn intersection at the Dalmeny access road. The area has speed limits reduced to 60 km/hr and Northwest traffic is limited to one lane. There is a distance of 1.8kms affected by this construction, with an estimated cost of $5.8 million. This project is expected to be complete by September 30th.
