Dunford, who is 44, is to make his first court appearance Tuesday in Weyburn provincial court.
The charges come almost two months to the day after Ashley Richards was hit near Midale, southeast of Weyburn.
The 18-year-old, who was originally from Lakeside, N.B., was working on a highway crew when she was struck by an SUV.
Her death prompted RCMP to begin traffic enforcement blitzes in the busiest orange-signed construction zones.
