Provincial Highways Minister Buckley Beleanger was in northern Saskatchewan Friday to make a multi-million dollar funding announcement for road improvements in northwest Saskatchewan.
Belanger says the road work, some of which has already be completed, will improve roads and access for the communities in and around Beauval, Ile a la Crosse and Patuanak.
Belanger says the work, which is price-tagged at over $ 6.3 million, will begin on the projects in the next 10 to 12 days and will be completed, depending on the weather, by the end of the summer.
He added the department is also currently working on community partnerships to build access roads into Deschambault Lake, Cumberland House, and Pelican Narrows. Work for the Deschambault road will begin in August.
