Passing lanes on Highway 4 between North Battleford and Cochin are now open.

A release issued Wednesday stated four passing lanes as well as intersection improvements have been opened to traffic. Work has wrapped up on construction of the initial $10 million project this year, and the contractor will return for additional paving, minor repairs and clean up next spring.

Traffic volumes for the stretch of Highway 4 between North Battleford and Cochin range from 3,700 to 6,900 vehicles per day, states the release.

Highways and Infrastructure Minister Lori Carr said passing lanes can reduce collisions by 25 per cent.
