TABER, AB – The Highway 3 Twinning Development Association is asking the province for $3.2-million to complete engineering for two sections of the road.
If approved, this would cover Taber to Burdett and Medicine Hat to Seven Person’s.
“Highway 3 is an important piece of infrastructure that provides an enormous value to the entire province of Alberta and beyond,” says Lethbridge Mayor Chris Spearman. “The expansion of this highway is integral to ensuring safe and efficient passage for some of the largest produce and food processing plants in the country. A funding commitment from the province to twin Highway 3 would be a commitment to investing in industry and a stable Alberta economy.”
Functional planning studies have already been completed for twinning on most sections of Highway 3, but engineering is the next step in preparing for a potential start of construction.
