Humboldt

As part of the extensive walking trail system created by the City of Humboldt, an extension of the trail crosses 1st Street on Humboldt’s east side. That extension connects the trail from the campground to Andreason Rd near the Peavey Mart.  

Of late, residents and walkers have become aware of motorized vehicles such as ATVs and dirt bikes riding on the trail.  

The City of Humboldt announced on Wednesday, June 19th, traffic restrictions will be in place on Highway 5 between 7th Street & 9th Street for pothole patching.

There will be a lane closure in place during the work. The intersection of Highways 5 & 20 will also be placed in a 4-way flash.

These restrictions will be in place from 9 am to approximately 11 am.

And it's fitting that this week, we're holding our 10th anniversary in Manitoba."
