The Manitoba government is investing more than $189 million in infrastructure upgrades in western Manitoba, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor announced this month.
The money will be spent on multiple highway repair projects, bridge repairs and culvert replacements, the province announced.
The 18 projects include fixing Highway 5 for 15 kilometres north of Highway 2, and “structure replacements” at the Assiniboine River at Spruce Woods Provincial Park and north of Holland on Highway 34.
Also, several culverts will be replaced and improvements will be made to 115 kilometres of highway, including Highway 10 and Provincial Road 270, from the Trans-Canada Highway to Highway 25.
The work is part of Manitoba’s Multi-year Infrastructure Investment Strategy for roads, highways, bridges, airports and flood protection over the next five years.
Naylor said the road improvements will improve safety.
The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure recently completed work on a bridge over Epinette Creek on Highway 5 and is working on “structure replacements” on the Trans-Canada Highway near South Boggy Creek, east of Provincial Road 340.
Projects are in various stages of design and construction, with all 18 projects expected to begin construction by 2026, the minister said.
