Michael Oleksyn/Daily Herald (L to R) Reeve Don Fyrk of the RM of Buckland, Rob Meyers project manager for HRJ Asphalt, MLAs Nadine Wilson, Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw, Joe Hargrave, Alana Ross, Delbert Kirsch and John Halkett of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLIB) cut the ribbon on the new passing lanes on Highway 2 north of Prince Albert on Wednesday.
The two new sets of passing lanes between Prince Albert and Christopher Lake were officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday morning.
Government officials say the project was completed ahead of schedule, and will improve safety on Hwy 2. Officials said they will also improve traffic flow for commuters to and from communities and parks in the Prince Albert area and the province’s north.
Since 2008 they’ve hit many milestones including the land donation, and the province supplying operational funding, which will be $2 million per year.
She explained they wanted to reach at least half of their fundraising goal before beginning construction and they’ve well exceeded that. They only have $1.1 million of their $4 million goal left to raise.
“It’s just going to give people another option and an option that we need in this city and the surrounding communities,” she said.
What comes next is the beginning of construction and the hospice will continue to fundraise to reach their goal.
“This project has been a long time coming and we’ve persevered, we didn’t stop, and it’s just great to see all the support, and the continued support we have is amazing,” Mitchell said.
