FORT QU’APPELLE — A $3.5 million highway construction project on Highway 210 is underway through Fort Qu'Appelle. The work is being done through a partnership with the town and the Government of Saskatchewan.
The highway improvement project will include resurfacing, and curb and gutter replacement west of the junction with Highway 35 and will cover about 1.8 kilometres. Weather permitting, work is expected to be completed this summer.
The contractor is ASL Paving Ltd., while AECOM Prairie Road/Solutions will provide contract supervision.
"The traffic in our area increases substantially over the summer months, and these improvements to our local infrastructure are very welcome," Fort Qu'Appelle Mayor Gus Lagace said.
