Alberta’s government is investing $335 million to keep Alberta’s highways smooth and safe.

Paving and overlay projects extend the lifespan of Alberta’s highways and reduce the need for full reconstruction down the road. These projects will ensure our provincial highway network is safe and efficient, improving travel for Alberta families and for the energy, agriculture and logistics sectors.

The 2023-24 paving and overlay budget is $335.1 million, an increase of $80 million from last year, demonstrating the government’s commitment to ensuring a well-maintained highway network for the movement of people, energy, agricultural and forestry products.
