The province has released $437.4 million in new highway projects in its 2020 Fall Tender. it’s the largest in Saskatchewan history.
Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit says, “We have listened to industry and put the tender schedule out earlier than ever before, which mitigates the risk of rising prices and ensures the best value for the taxpayer.”
