The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is undertaking several mutli-year construction projects throughout the province designed to improve safety and efficiency on Saskatchewan's highway network. Details on these major projects are below.

The Estevan Truck Route will improve traffic flow, enhance safety and generate potential development opportunities in the Estevan area.  The selected route runs north of the city from the intersection of Highway 39 and Shand Road to Highway 39 west of the city.

The Lewvan Interchange in southwest Regina will greatly improving safety and traffic flow.

Work is underway on the West Regina Bypass; a new road that will connect Highways 1 and 11 and serve as the primary access to the Global Transportation Hub (GTH).

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is on target to complete the twinning of Highway 11 between Prince Albert and Saskatoon in 2012.

The provincial government is constructing a new bridge on Highway 2 over the North Saskatchewan River at St. Louis. The current bridge at St. Louis is 96 years old and must be replaced due to safety considerations, and because it is not capable of carrying primary weight loads, the highest legal load limit for shippers in Saskatchewan.

A new West Truck Bypass is being constructed at Yorkton to support efficient and safe movement of truck traffic to new canola crushing plants west of Yorkton. The first phase of the Yorkton West Truck Route was opened to traffic in November 2010 with the second phase expected to be finished in 2012 for the estimated $12.3-million project.

The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is in the design and consultation stage of a major upgrade to the Dalmeny Access Road
