The Manitoba government announced it has completed 23 infrastructure upgrades across Manitoba this summer, improving 204 kilometres of highways across the province.
“From Woodridge in the east, to Birtle in the west, Grahamdale in the Interlake and Split Lake in the north, communities across Manitoba are now able to access safe and functional roadways,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor. “The summer is always the busiest time of the year for infrastructure investments, and our government made the most of this time, completing multiple major projects.”
The 23 projects, totalling $230 million include:
- $22.8 million for 12 km of bituminous rehabilitation on Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 12 north of PTH 52 at Seine River Diversion;
- $2 million for a thin lift overlay on Provincial Road (PR) 673 in Winkler;
- $36.4 million for 21 km of bituminous reconstruction on PTH 5 from PTH 23 to PTH 2, near Glenboro;
- $42.7 million for 17 km of bituminous reconstruction on PTH 83, from PTH 355 to PTH 42, between Beulah and Birtle;
- $5.2 million for intersection improvements at PTH 633 at PR 391 in Thompson;
- $13.1 million for 20 km of bituminous rehabilitation on PTH 5 from PTH 20 to PTH 10 near Dauphin; and
- $19.6 million for a structure replacement on PTH 3 at Souris River, near Melita.
All projects are complete as of October 2025.
“These investments mark our continued commitment to building stronger, safer communities across the province that will serve Manitobans for generations to come. Improved roads and bridges are more than just construction, they’re about building spaces where Manitobans can explore, business can grow and everyone feels secure,” added Naylor.
The minister also noted emergency work has begun on PTH 3 at Morris River after the closure on Sept. 10.
