Alberta’s government is investing over $1.5 million to support rural roads by upgrading culverts and drainage in the constituency of Livingstone-Macleod.
This money will help the municipal districts complete various rural road projects through the Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program (STIP).
“The over $1.5 million in strategic rural infrastructure investments this year in Livingstone – Macleod will help support economic growth in our region and the long-term viability of our roads. Let’s get building!” Roger Reid – MLA for Livingstone-Macleod
- $454,238 is going towards a bridge culvert replacement project in the Municipal District of Pincher Creek
- $1,069,807 will be invested in two bridge culvert replacement projects, and drainage improvements to Railway Ave (Granum) in the Municipal District of Willow Creek
“STIP funding will support rural and smaller urban municipalities with local transportation infrastructure. Now more than ever, strong infrastructure is vital to attracting investment, and this funding will help ensure they have the roads and bridges they need to grow sustainably, while also creating much-needed jobs.”
Hon. Rajan Sawhney– Minister of Transportation
