REGINA—The Government of Saskatchewan is touting a record-setting fall tender release schedule from September 2020 as it marked May 27 as the unofficial start of the 2021 road construction season.
According to a release, most of the planned contracts from the fall tender have now been awarded and are underway or will be soon.
“Construction season is here. Spring and summer 2021 will be one of the largest construction seasons the province has seen in a while. With nearly $440 million in work resulting from this tender, motorists will see over 820 kilometres of roadway improvements across the province. Drivers may experience some delays with roadworks and I ask that they slow down, plan ahead and be patient,” Saskatchewan Minister of Highways Fred Bradshaw said in a statement.
