The City of Portage la Prairie says traffic is now moving again on Road 34W between Lincoln Avenue and Assiniboine Trail.
In an update shared Monday, officials confirm phase 1 of the road construction project is finished and the section has reopened.
The closure, which began Thursday, July 17th, was part of a larger, phased project aimed at improving infrastructure in the area.
With the first leg now complete, attention shifts to Phase 2.
The City had initially aimed to reopen phase 1 by the end of July 28, and it appears that work wrapped up on schedule.
Phase 2 will impact McCain Avenue from Road 34 N to Westco Drive.
A detour has been set up using Stephens Avenue, 4th Street NE, 4th Avenue NE, 6th Avenue NE, and Phillips Street.
