Province finalizes Regina Bypass route

REGINA — The Saskatchewan government has settled on a route for the $1.2-billion Regina Bypass project.

Even so, Don McMorris, minister of highways and infrastructure, said on Monday it might take up to two years for construction to begin. The reason is that about 200 plots of land needs to be purchased from 130 owners to make way for the new twinned highway around most of the city.

The bypass would begin at Highway 11 northwest of the city, proceed south and then turn eastward five kilometres south of the Trans-Canada Highway. As it heads eastward, the route passes Albert Street/Highway 6 and then Arcola East before reconnecting to the Trans-Canada near Tower Road. Highway 6 will be twinned to where it meets the bypass.

Overpasses are to be built at Highway 46 at Balgonie, the Pilot Butte access road and Highway 48 at White City.

One concern that has been raised is where the roadway reconnects to the Trans-Canada Highway east of the city and the construction of a major intersection approximately 400 metres east of Tower Road.
