Be prepared to slow down as crews work on roads.
Works is about to begin on seal coating. This process involves applying hot liquid asphalt to the road surface before crushed gravel is spread over the asphalt and packed down. This creates a waterproof layer that seals the cracks and protects the surface.
Because seal coats require 24 hours to cure, speed reductions in place. This ensures the seal cures properly, while also protecting windshields from damage.
Work will begin in the following areas:
- Caronport
- Craik
- Ernfold
- Gull Lake
- Herbert
- Moose Jaw
- Mortlach
- Parkbeg
- Swift Current
Before you hit the road, check the Highway Hotline for up-to-date information on construction, emergency road closures, the status of ferries, and other road activities. Information is also available by calling 511.
More than 400 kilometres of Sasktachewan roads will be seal coated this summer.
