To help drivers be alert about road construction projects in the province during the summer, the Saskatchewan Government has presented the Weekly Orange Zone Construction Update, to give motorists an update on some of the latest projects taking place in the province.
One of the projects that was highlighted by the Saskatchewan Government’s recent update is the work being done on Highway 5 west of Humboldt, at the intersection of Grid Road 669 (Dixon Road).
A turning lane is being added to the intersection as well as the road is being widened.
Motorists are asked to obey speed limit signs within the construction zone.
The total cost of the project is $965,000.
Other projects highlighted in the recent construction zone update include:
