A total of $97.5 million was spent on construction projects in 2022 by the City of Regina. And as construction season is nearing its end, some projects will continue into winter.
Construction season is officially drawing to a close in Regina as snow begins to hit the ground instead of work tools.
A total of $97.5 million was invested in construction projects in 2022 by the City of Regina, according to the city’s director of citizen services.
The city said the main areas of investment were in transportation, water, wastewater and drainage projects, including:
“I thank our staff and crews for their work to coordinate, develop, implement and complete the projects that we set out to achieve this season,” executive director of citizen services Kim Onrait said.
He hopes the investments into infrastructure bring a higher level of health and vibrancy to the community.
There are however a number of projects yet to be completed.
Most notably, the Albert Street rehabilitation project and the McCarthy Boulevard improvement project are ongoing. Onrait said these projects are still set to be completed before year’s end and are on budget.
“The end of the construction season doesn’t mean work stops for winter,” the City of Regina said in a press release. “Crews maintain City infrastructure year-round to keep our community healthy and safe. Winter work includes traffic signal upgrades, and water and sewer infrastructure repairs.”
