The $60.6 million work is meant to improve safety for both communities.
“For the Warman people, coming back is their main improvement. So they’ll be able to take the loop ramp over the bridge and into town and not have to make the crossing at these at-grade intersections anymore,” construction manager Mike Dietrich said on Tuesday.
“For Martensville, the improvement is for people going in the morning. They will be able to come out Main Street over the bridge, take the loop ramp, and then head south into Saskatoon.”
The projects are scheduled for completion in fall 2019.
