The Government of Saskatchewan is investing in a number of highways leading to provincial parks in 2021. These projects are part of the government’s $7.5 billion two-year capital plan to build a strong Saskatchewan and stimulate our economic recovery following the pandemic.
In addition to highway upgrades, as a part of this fall’s record construction plan, more than $2 million of paving will occur within five Saskatchewan Provincial Parks next year, including:
Good Spirit Lake;
Great Blue Heron;
Greenwater Lake;
Meadow Lake; and
Rowan’s Ravine.
Meanwhile, more than $41 million worth of highway construction continues on several projects near provincial parks this year including:
Construction on Highway 219 near Danielson Provincial Park;
Paving on Highway 255 near Tobin Lake; and
Paving on Highway 265 near Candle Lake Provincial Park.
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.
