The Highways 10 and 9 corridor running from Melville to Yorkton, then Canora, wrapped up this year.
Potzus Construction Ltd. of Yorkton was the contractor, and during the late summer, they were paving around the clock, literally, to get it done.
By August the passing lanes between Yorkton and Melville had officially opened.
South of the city, on Highway 10 between Yorkton and Melville, the three sets of passing lanes had been completed, giving greater opportunity for safe passing between the two cities.
Those lanes are part of a larger passing lanes project surrounding Yorkton, with three sets of passing lanes to be constructed to the north of the city as well, on Highway 9 on the route to Canora.
The entire project has a cost of $39.4 million, and will also include intersection improvements, access consolidation and 55km of paving on Highway 9 and 10.
The initial pilot project was done several years ago on Highway 10 between Balgonie and Fort Qu’Appelle.
