Three turning lanes under construction in Battlefords

The province has released more details on several highway projects that are underway in Saskatchewan this fall.

Earlier this week, local MLA Jeremy Cockrill posted about a highway construction update on his social media and noted plans to construct turning lanes at three intersections in the Battlefords. Work recently began on a pair of intersections on Highway 4. Right-turn lanes will be built on the highway: one at 22nd Street and the other at 29th Street. Both lanes will head east. Work is expected to be completed by mid-October.

Along with the two right-turn lanes in Battleford, a left-turn lane will be built on Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway 16 heading west to Hereford Street in North Battleford. Construction of the lane will begin either this fall or in 2026, depending on weather conditions.

The entire project will cost an estimated $1.3 million.

Elsewhere in the province, work is underway on Highway 165 at Beauval to replace two short-span bridges over Beaver River, along with raising the road near the bridges and paving. The project will cost $11.1 million and is expected to be finished by the end of October.

A project to replace a culvert, as well as some erosion repairs, was just completed on Highway 56 near Katepwa. That project cost $1.5 million.

Highways Minister David Marit said that it is important for people to take extra caution while driving near highway construction areas.

“Fall is now officially underway, but the main construction season has been ongoing since spring and will continue throughout the autumn, no matter the time of year, please respect work zones so everyone gets home safely.”

The Ministry of Highways reminds people that all construction projects are subject to weather.
