THE WEEKLY PROVINCIAL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Drivers are advised to be aware of ongoing provincial highways construction work.

"Motorists can use this information to help plan road trips and allow for extra time if they're travelling through a construction zone," Highways and Infrastructure Minister Jim Reiter said. "Please slow to 60 km/h when passing highway workers and equipment, while remembering base fines start at $140 for speeding through an Orange Zone."

Details about ongoing highway projects are available in the attached backgrounder.

Construction work is subject to weather conditions and contractor progress. Motorists can get other important travel information on the Summer Road Conditions and Road Conditions Map sections of the Highway Hotline online at www.highways.gov.sk.ca/road-conditions/.
