Highway crews are blasting rock north of La Ronge.

A spokeswoman for Saskatchewan Highways says motorists should expect construction zones 12 kilometres north along Highway 102.

Kirsten Leatherdale says the reason they’re doing the work is primarily due to safety.

“It’s simply to expand the right of way at that location and drivers will be able to see better when they’re driving on Highway 102 at that location.”

She adds the work isn’t associated with mining, and should be wrapped up by the end of March.
