Highway 11 has another section twinned

The twinning of Highway 11 between Prince Albert and Saskatoon is another step closer to being complete.

About 26 kilometres of newly twinned road, from south of Hague to north of Rosthern, is now completely open to traffic. The announcement comes just in time for one of the busiest times of the year for highway travel.

Following today's opening, about 48 kilometres remain to be twinned.

“The opening of this segment of newly twinned lanes on Highway 11 is good news for commuters and the local economy,” said Minister of Agriculture, Gerry Ritz, in a news release.

“The Government of Canada is pleased to be working with the Province of Saskatchewan on this project that will keep people and goods moving across the province.”

The federal and provincial governments are each contributing up to $62 million to accelerate the Highway twinning project.

Federal investment is provided through the Building Canada Fund.

The original complete date in 2016 was pushed forward to 2012.
