MOOSE JAW — The Ministry of Highways has officially begun upgrading the Main Street North bridge over Highway 1.
The ministry announced on Sunday on social media that motorists should watch for speed reductions, equipment, people working, and potential lane closures at Highway 2 over Highway 1 in Moose Jaw for an overpass project, weather permitting, beginning on Monday, March 17.
The province previously told Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com that the $33.7 million initiative would rebuild and raise the two overpasses on Highway 2 over the Trans-Canada Highway.
PCL Construction Management was the successful bidder of the tender and plans to start construction this April, with a completion goal of the fall of 2026, weather permitting.
“During construction, drivers can expect delays and disruptions. We urge them to slow down and obey all signs in the work zone to protect themselves and our workers,” the ministry spokesman said. “We thank drivers in advance for their patience as we work to improve safety and capacity at this important intersection.”
