Highway construction workers will be busy this long weekend, trying to catch up on a slow construction season.

 

With that in mind, Highways and Infrastructure Minister Jim Reiter is reminding drivers to slow down in the Orange Zone.

 

Record rainfall this summer has delayed major road construction projects throughout the province, and led to unexpected repairs of flood damaged highways.

 

Reiter adds that areas that are the most dangerous and damaged are around Maple Creek and Humboldt.
