Manitoba Government Investing More Than $189 Million in Safety Including Upgrades for Infrastructure in Western Manitoba
Media Release - July 14, 2025
The 18 projects include a bituminous rehabilitation on Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 5, for 15 kilometres north of PTH 2, along with structure replacements at the Assiniboine River at Spruce Woods Provincial Park and north of Holland on PTH 34. Additional projects include replacing several culverts and bituminous rehabilitation projects that will renew more than 115 km of highway including PTH 10 and Provincial Road (PR) 270 from the Trans-Canada Highway to PTH 25.
The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure recently completed work on a bridge over Epinette Creek on PTH 5 and is working on structure replacements eastbound and westbound on the Trans-Canada Highway at South Boggy Creek east of PR 340.
Projects are in various stages of design and construction with all 18 projects expected to begin construction by 2026, the minister noted.
“Investing in the repair and rehabilitation of our highways is not just about improving infrastructure, it’s about protecting lives,” said Naylor. “Every upgrade we make enhances safety for drivers, agriculture equipment users and others in the community. A safer highway system means a stronger, more connected community.”
These projects support Manitoba’s Multi-year Infrastructure Investment Strategy , which outlines planned strategic projects in roads, highways, bridges, airports and flood protection over the next five years.
