Roads and highways keep Saskatchewan residents connected and the economy growing, which is why the 2024-25 Budget makes road maintenance and safety a priority.
Budget highlights include:
- $417 million for highway infrastructure in Saskatchewan. This includes:
- $404.0 million for capital projects; and
- $13.3 million in capital grants to support municipalities and industry partners making strategic transporation investments.
- $73.5 million to build, operate and maintain the transportation system in northern Saskatchewan.
- $59.3 million to repair or rebuild 17 bridges and replace more than 100 culverts.
- Through the Safety Improvement Program, the province will invest $17.6 million toward intersections, guardrails and lighting across Saskatchewan.
- This follows last year’s completion of a five-year, $100-million investment in road safety.
- Construction continues on several major highway improvement projects, including:
- Twinning projects near Rowatt and Corinne on Highways 6 and 39 between Regina and Weyburn;
- Corridor improvements on Highway 5 east of Saskatoon; and
- Completion of the replacement of two Highway 6 bridges over Regina’s Ring Road.
- Funding in 2024-25 will improve more than 1,100 km of provincial highways, including:
- 260 km of repaving;
- 765 km of light and medium pavement preservation;
- 58 km of Thin Membrane Surface improvements; and
- 25 km of gravel rehabilitation.
