Published purpose
This project will result in Highway 55 corridor improvements between Nipawin and the Manitoba border. Highway 55 is heavily used by forestry industry and local public, including First Nations communities. Highway 55 is also the primary connection to a number of First Nations and northern communities including Red Earth Cree Nation and Shoal Lake Cree Nation. If Highway 55 is closed due to an emergency, the only alternate route to get to the Manitoba border is to go through Hudson Bay. The major components of this project include: - Upgrading about 38 kilometres of Highway 55 east of junction of Highway 55 and Highway 23; - Rehabilitation of approximately 16 kilometres of Highway 55 east of Nipawin; - Safety improvements along Highway 55 east of Nipawin."
