NEWS FROM THE FIELD
Province partnering with 55
RMs to upgrade roads
Road improvements are coming to 55 rural municipalities across
Saskatchewan thanks to $16.5 million in funding from the provincial government’s
two-year, $7.5 billion infrastructure stimulus plan.
“Our government’s stimulus plan provides an economic booster shot
and contributes significantly toward meeting our Growth Plan goals,” said
Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit. “Partnerships with
our rural communities are key to ensuring our infrastructure can serve our
citizens for decades to come. This funding will help get Saskatchewan people
working again and ensure our rural communities continue to prosper.”
The funding announced today is part of a three-year plan with the
Saskatchewan Rural Municipalities Association (SARM) to improve 100
rural municipal roads through the Rural Integrated Roads for Growth
(RIRG) Program. RIRG assists RMs with costs of building and upgrading
municipal roads, bridges and culverts to support growth.
“Infrastructure is fundamental to the movement of goods and services,”
said Ray Orb, SARM president. “Rural Saskatchewan is home to resourcebased
industries and supporting rural municipalities to maintain and build
roads will help the economic recovery of the province.”
If you have questions or concerns regarding safety, signage, work zones
and more, reach out to the Highway Customer Service Centre. You can
call Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. at 1-844-SK-HIWAY or inquire anytime
online.
The Government of Saskatchewan has invested more than $9.8 billion
in highways infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 15,800 km of
Saskatchewan highways. Another $300 million in highways stimulus funds
will be invested over the next two years to stimulate Saskatchewan’s economic
recovery.
“Rural Saskatchewan is home to
resource-based industries and
supporting rural municipalities to
maintain and build roads will help the
economic recovery of the province.”
– Ray Orb, SARM president
