The approximately $10.4 million project to repave about 24 kilometres of Highway 16 near Lanigan began in the spring of 2025.

The resurfacing work was completed last month and is expected to provide a smoother, safer drive for motorists travelling on one of Saskatchewan’s busiest highways.

Highways Minister Kim Gartner reminded drivers to obey reduced speed limits in construction zones, regardless of which highway they are travelling.

“We want everyone to get home safely. Please slow down and be alert when approaching work zones and obey all signage and flag persons,” Gartner said. “Remember, the outcome of each construction season benefits all motorists by enhancing highways to keep our province moving and support Saskatchewan’s export-based economy.”

Another major project featured in this week’s update is the estimated $7.1 million rehabilitation of the eastbound Highway 7 bridge over the railway tracks west of Saskatoon.

The project began in April. Recent work has included demolishing the existing eastbound bridge deck while using scaffolding and a protective platform to prevent debris from falling onto the railway tracks below. Upcoming work includes repairs to the bridge abutments and piers. The project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

The Ministry also highlighted work near Moose Jaw, where a $33.5 million project to raise Highway 2 over the Trans-Canada Highway entered its second year of construction.

The project began last year and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

Motorists travelling across Saskatchewan are encouraged to check the Highway Hotline for the latest road conditions, construction information and travel updates before heading out.
