Saskatchewan Highways and Infrastructure is responsible for the construction, maintenance and operation of more than 26 000 km of provincial highways throughout Saskatchewan. This network, vast as it is, represents only a small component of the province's total road system.
In response to concern expressed by individual contractors, truckers and the
Roadbuilders & Heavy Construction Association of Saskatchewan, the Ministry
has instituted diesel fuel price adjustment clauses for most major contracts to reduce
the risk to the contractors resulting from unusual fuel price increases.
