Dust free Saskatchewan highways proposed to Saskatoon Yorkton Calgary
Saskatchewan highways minister C G Willis told the Saskatoon Board of Trade that highways between Saskatoon and Yorkton and toward Calgary could be made dust free next year. The plan covers about 95 miles of surface. A Wakaw direct road would cut 20 miles from the current route and cost about 2 million dollars, about one sixth of this year’s provincial road program. The project cannot be easily split into parts or fit into a single year.
