Bridge Plan to Span South Saskatchewan River at Saskatchewan Landing
Premier Douglas backs a $540,000 bridge across the South Saskatchewan at Saskatchewan Landing to replace the aging ferry service. The plan, backed by Swift Current supporters, would connect a region long affected by ferries and high crossing delays, with local bonds funding half the cost. The project preserves a link to frontier history while addressing sustained transport needs for settlers and tourists alike.
