CALGARY, Alberta, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) said on Wednesday native blockades in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan have forced the company to halt most construction on its C$3 billion ($2.8 billion) Alberta Clipper pipeline project.

First Nations bands in Saskatchewan blockaded construction of the line, which will carry 450,000 barrels of oil sands crude from Hardisty, Alberta, to Superior, Wisconsin, in two locations: just outside the provincial capital of Regina and near Kerrobert, in western Saskatchewan.
