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.

Video: Farming For The Future

We're seeing a decline in productive land, the nutritional value of our food and our connection to the natural world.

But by working in harmony with nature, regenerative agriculture revitalizes the soil, improves water management and fosters ecological balance.

Regenerative farms are leading the way, showing that what benefits the farm also benefits the climate. With land surrounded by rolling coulees, rugged badlands and the Rocky Mountains, Gerrid Knol, a second generation farmer in the heart of southern Alberta, understands the importance of working in harmony with nature.

In addition to using regenerative practices on his farm, Gerrid is a participant of Rural Routes to Climate Solution's Regenerative Agriculture Lab (RAL) and is working with others to determine how to increase the adoption of regenerative agriculture in Alberta.
