Jan 11, 2024 | 6:00 AM

The Alberta government is looking back on what it calls a productive 2023 construction season.

The province says over the year it spent $1.13 billion dollars on 250 projects, including $228 million dollars into the Highway 40 twinning project in the Pace Region.

Approximately 95 per cent of Phase 1 of the project is complete, including 10 kilometers of twinning from 68 Avenue in Grande Prairie to south of the Wapiti River, and 80 per cent of Phase 2 is complete, stretching from the river to Township Road 700.

In addition, the Little Smoky River Bridge rehabilitation project wrapped up this year with an estimated total cost of $5.3 million.

The province has spent almost $8 billion dollars over three years in the Ministry of Transportation and Economic Corridor’s Capital Plan.
