Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure: federal grants and contributions

This project will result in Highway 55 corridor improvements between Nipawin and the Manitoba border. Highway 55 is heavily used by forestry industry and local public, including First Nations communities. Highway 55 is also the primary connection to a number of First Nations and northern communities including Red Earth Cree Nation and Shoal Lake Cree Nation. If Highway 55 is closed due to an emergency, the only alternate route to get to the Manitoba border is to go through Hudson Bay. The major components of this project include: - Upgrading about 38 kilometres of Highway 55 east of junction

The Borden Bridges are a critical North Saskatchewan River crossing and part of the Highway 16 system. The Borden Bridges, located between Saskatoon and North Battleford, were built with the east abutments on ancient land slide debris. Accelerated slope movement in 2010 prompted the reassessment of the Borden Bridge landslide and a review of remedial options. Natural earthworks will be implemented as the best option.
