Several highway projects are underway or recently completed across west-central Saskatchewan, including nearly $16 million in work on Highway 51 near Biggar. The province is investing approximately $15.9 million in subgrade construction on Highway 51, extending from the junction with Highway 4 about 24 kilometres west. Construction began in 2025 and is expected to be completed this fall. The province says surfacing work will be completed under a separate contract, with construction expected to begin in 2027.

Construction began July 27 and is expected to be completed by the end of August, weather permitting. Farther west, a $6.6-million resurfacing project near Lashburn has already been completed. That work covered more than 15 kilometres of Highway 16 eastbound lanes between the Lashburn and Marshall accesses. The projects are among several highway investments underway or completed in west-central Saskatchewan this construction season. $12M planned for routine maintenance The province also expects to invest approximately $12 million this year in routine highway maintenance across the west-central region. The maintenance area stretches north to around Lloydminster, east toward Borden and Beechy and south to communities around Kyle, Kindersley and Marengo. Work includes road surface patching, gravel blading, dust control, crack sealing, surface sand sealing and other minor pavement repairs. Many of the maintenance projects are short-term and can typically be completed within one or two days. All highway work remains subject to weather conditions. Drivers are encouraged to check Saskatchewan’s Highway Hotline before travelling for updated information on construction, road conditions and closures. The province says it has invested more than $14.6 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 22,700 kilometres of highways across Saskatchewan.
