National Highway System routes. C$27 million will be contributed by the Government of Canada as part of the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative (APGCI) towards this $93 million project. The provincial government will commit about $27 million to the project. Former Highways and Infrastructure Minister Wayne Elhard discussed expanding the Government's role in the next phase of the development project. The average vehicles per day on both Hwy 1 and Hwy 11 were examined in 5-year and 25-year projections. The traffic on Hwy 1 is expected to have an average of 10,140 to 11,210 vehicles per day on the west and east side of the proposed interchange in five years. This amount in 25 years is expected to increase to 21,040 vehicles per day on the west and 31,340 vehicles per day on the east side of the proposed interchange respectively. Hwy 11 is projected to increase from 13,060 to 23,870 vehicles per day in 25 years. The new connector road across Dewdney Avenue will carry 5,500 vehicles per day projected in 5 years increasing to 33,000 vehicles per day in 25 years. Currently the Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) on Hwy 1 is 9,280 vehicles per day west of Pinkie Road, and 11,680 on the east side of Pinkie Road. On Hwy 11 east of the interchange the AADT is 8,840. On Pinkie Road south of the interchange the traffic volume is 7,740 vehicles per day. John Law, Deputy Minister of Highways and Infrastructure estimated that it will cost about $45 million to upgrade service roads to Pinkie Road and the intermodal facility to support approximately 1,400 commercial trucks per week in the area. The current proposal is looking at a 4 lane twinned highway with service roads. It will become part of the long term bypass route around Regina, and will accommodate future growth of the city to a population of 300,000. Pinkie Road will be approximately in length. The annexation of land by the city from the RM of Sherwood is being negotiated and the city will pay about $1,500,000 and supply water to the RM for the land segment. The city initially considered four industrial land options for development Argyle Park - IPSCO lands, Regina Airport, Ross Industrial Park and the Pinkie Road and Trans-Canada Highway areas. In November 2007, Regina City Council examined a report which studied projected industrial growth for the city of Regina
