Highway 61 construction delays frustrating area residents
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Highway 61 between Etzikom and Foremost is described in the following terms by those who use it: Narrow, filled with cracks, bumps, and decades of patches, with dangerously sharp shoulders.
The Alberta Government began looking into remediation work for the highway back in 2006.
In September of 2016 the province began the estimated $10 million dollar project to realign, widen and repave 15 kilometres of the highway to the West of Etzikom.
