If you plan to take a trip to or through Saskatchewan this summer, the provincial government reminds you to check the Highway Hotline before planning your route.
During the summer, the Highway Hotline is updated to inform motorists of construction zones, flooding, forest fires or other events.
The travel planning route locator provides the latest information on frequently travelled highways in your preferred area.
A visual system of construction pylons and alert icons has been created on the Highway Hotline map to denote road restrictions.
“With a record highways budget of $842 million, travellers can expect to see a number of construction zones this summer,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “The Highway Hotline is a great tool to relay up-to-date information to the public.”
The latest road condition and ferry status updates are on the Highway Hotline website at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline.
