Highway 3 twinning association continuing to gain support
BY IAN CROFT ALBERTA NEWSPAPER GROUP With both the twinning of Highway 3 between Taber and Burdett beginning in the spring, and the increase demand for resourc- es Alberta can provide due to the COVID-19 pandemic, support for the Highway 3 Twin- ning Development Association has continued to grow within southern Alberta. The associa- tion is working to get the entirety of Highway 3 twinned going from Medicine Hat all the way to British Columbia. Alongside the sup- port the association has received from private interest members and stakeholder groups, the association has also received recent help from the Government of Alberta. “2020 was a challenging year, but one of the bright points was the recognition by the Government of Alberta investing in Highway 3 is a smart choice, both in terms of short and-long-term economic development for our region, but also in terms of lives saved and increased safety,” said Chairperson Bill Chap- man, in a media release. “We are excited for shovels to hit the ground this spring on the Taber to Burdett section.” With the twinning of Highway 3, many eco- nomic opportunities will be able to take full effect. Along with this, Highway 3 will be able to function as a crucial pathway and supply chain to allow products to more easily flow in and out of southern Alberta. “There’s been a lot of shift- ing of supply chains, and that has meant an increased de- mand for agri-food products from our region, the province has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into new and upgraded irrigation systems and there’s a hungry world out there that needs the food we grow,” said Peter Casurella, executive director of SouthGrow Regional Initia- tive, in a media release.
“All of this is going to mean more and more trucks on the road trying to get Albertan products to market, and Highway 3 is going to remain a bottleneck to growth until it’s done.” Finally, Victoria Chester, director of ad- vancement with the Highway 3 Twinning As- sociation, commented on how every chamber of commerce in the past two years have band- ed together to see Highway 3 twinned. “The association used to be a collection of munici- palities and economic developers trying to get things done, but over the past two years we’ve had all of the chambers of commerce along Highway 3 join us, and a long list of private businesses for whom Highway 3 is a critical pipeline for moving their goods and services,” said Chester. “Highway 3 is so much more than asphalt, it’s an artery that supports hundreds of businesses and thousands of families, and widening it multiplies the ben- efits it already brings. Our members see that and keep supporting our vision.” After the section of Highway 3 has been twinned between Taber and Burdett, the association plans to continue advocating the twinning of Highway 3 until the entire corridor is complete. If you are interested in joining the effort to see Highway 3 fully twinned, you can support the association by either signing their petition at http://www.
