There will be new opportunities to pass safely on Highway 10 between Melville and Yorkton with the opening of three sets of passing lanes this weekend.

Three additional sets of passing lanes on Highway 9, north of Yorkton, are scheduled for completion this fall.

The entire $39.4 million project consists of a total of six sets of passing lanes, intersection improvements, access consolidation and 55 km of paving on Highways 9 and 10.

During the opening of the passing lanes, there may be an adjustment period and drivers should be cautious as there may still be reduced speeds required for short periods of time.
