Summary
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."

Description (French)
Ce projet permettra d’améliorer le corridor de l’autoroute 55 entre Nipawin et la frontière du Manitoba. L’autoroute 55 est très fréquentée par l’industrie forestière et le public local, y compris les collectivités des Premières Nations. La fermeture de la route 003-03-42 ramène la circulation sur l’autoroute 55, qui est également le principal lien avec un certain nombre de collectivités des Premières Nations et du Nord, notamment la nation crie de Red Earth et la nation crie de Shoal Lake. Si l’autoroute 55 est fermée en raison d’une urgence, la seule route de rechange pour se rendre à la frontière du Manitoba est de passer par la baie d’Hudson. Les principales composantes de ce projet sont les suivantes : – réfection d’environ 38 kilomètres de l’autoroute 55 à l’est de l’intersection de l’autoroute 55 et de l’autoroute 23; – remise en état d’environ 16 kilomètres de l’autoroute 55 à l’est de Nipawin; – amélioration de la sécurité le long de l’autoroute 55 à l’est de Nipawin.
