The project will hopefully be completed in 2008.

     Improving traffic flow is one of the reasons behind upgrades to the Highway 1 and 4 bypass in Swift Current.

     Minister of Highways and Transportation, Eldon Lautermilch, says the Ministry hopes to complete two aspects of the upgrade this year. They are currently working on the design and property purchase.

     The project will improve traffic flow at the busy intersection, taking into consideration the recommendations of a consulting firm.

     Original estimates show a cost of roughly 3.5 million dollars.

     Lautermilch says that the construction project will be going to tender this fall.
