REGINA (Staff) – There is an “urgent need” for a plan to twin the Trans-Canada Highway through Saskatchewan, says the mayor of Regina.
Doug Archer told a Tourism Regina meeting Feb. 27 that both the federal and provincial governments must realize the need to complete the project. He suggested they agree to twin the remaining 247 kilometres before Saskatchewan’s centennial in 2005. He estimated it would cost $94 million.
The highway is twinned from just east of Indian Head, about 65 kilometres east of Regina, to just past Gull Lake, about 300 kilometres west of Regina.
