Highway 55 to get $25 million in upgrades
Finding the best rescuers
“This is especially true on the Highway 55 corridor where there is a lack of available detour routes. Improvements to Highway 55 will also boost our economy, especially in the forestry sector.” The Gateway Keewatin Corridor Inc. has been lobbying for upgrades to the highway for years. Their ultimate goal is an all-season, dustfree, primary weight highway that could be used to transport pulp and grain. The funding is part of a $54 million investment made by the federal government to improve community safety in northern Saskatchewan.

CARROT RIVER — The federal and provincial governments will be investing $25 million into improving 50 kilometres of Highway 55 east of Carrot River. The funding, announced in Prince Albert April 23, will be focused on making the highway more resilient to spring flooring, which had washed out a bridge in the last few years. Highway 55 connects Nipawin with The Pas, Man. It is a gravel road. “Our government is committed to protecting our critical infrastructure,” said Fred Bradshaw, MLA for Carrot River Valley.
