Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor, announced that the Manitoba government will be providing $9.1 million to repair the Perimeter Highway this summer.
“The Perimeter Highway is an important route for Winnipeggers and people coming into the city from surrounding communities, and we are taking action to fix potholes and other damage to make the drive easier,” said Naylor. “Unlike the previous government who cut funding to roads and highways, we’re investing in infrastructure across Manitoba to create jobs, help make it easier for families to get around and support vital trade corridors.”
The $9.1 million will go toward repairing the Perimeter Highway to improve driving conditions, starting this month. Repairs will be focused on sections of the highway that are the most uneven for drivers including:
- North Perimeter eastbound lanes between Brookside Boulevard and McPhillips Street;
- South Perimeter westbound between Fermor Avenue and Lagimodiere Boulevard, including the southeast loop and ramp;
- North Perimeter at the Trans-Canada Highway east overpass, including loops and ramps;
- South Perimeter at the Trans-Canada Highway west overpass, including loops and ramps;
- westbound lanes approaching the intersection of Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 100 and PTH 3 (McGillivray Boulevard);
- South Perimeter at Roblin Boulevard overpass, including loops and ramps;
- intersection improvements at South Perimeter and Provincial Road 330; and
- concrete repairs between Wenzel Road and Dugald Road, and from the Trans-Canada Highway west to Road 63N.
In addition, construction continues for the St. Mary’s Road and PTH 100 Interchange project, planned to open to traffic later this year. The PTH 3 (McGillivray Boulevard) and PTH 100 interchange project is currently in design and award of the construction contract is anticipated in early 2025, the minister added.
Budget 2024 invests $500-million in capital funding to repair and rebuild Manitoba’s highways and public infrastructure to spur economic development and make it easier to get around the province.
