The City of Saskatoon is covering the remainder of the $45.1 million project. One of Saskatoon's priority infrastructure projects received a $30 million injection thanks to the provincial and federal governments. On Thursday Amarjeet Sohi, the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities and Jim Reiter, Minister of Government Relations for Saskatchewan, announced funding support for an interchange at Highway 16 and Boychuk Drive in Saskatoon's southeast corner. A new interchange would replace the eastbound left-turn lane on Highway 16 and Boychuk Drive with a left-turn loop, resolving safety and traffic flow issues in the area. The contribution from the upper levels of government is part of the Building Canada Fund, where the provincial, federal and municipal governments split the cost of an infrastructure project three ways.
