Brightly coloured orange vests will be very visible along provincial highways this long weekend.
There are a number of highway improvement projects scheduled including Highway 165 southwest of La Ronge and Highway 312 near Wakaw. There’s also lots of work being done this weekend south of Saskatoon on Highway 11, between Saskatoon and Regina. A full list of highway improvement projects can be found here.
“The Saskatchewan Day long weekend is always a busy time for camping and other recreational activities with family and friends,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said in a news release. “With this in mind, we ask that travelers please respect the work zones and remember that the workers have families too.”
Drivers are reminded to slow to 60 km/hr in the work zones. Fines for speeding through a work zone start at $240 and increases with each kilometre over.
