Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure advises motorists that as part of the ongoing construction at the interchange of Provincial Trunk Highway 100 (Perimeter Highway) and Provincial Road 200 (St. Mary’s Road), traffic has been routed over the newly constructed bridge and the existing traffic signals will be taken out of service.
The bridge is now open to northbound and southbound vehicular traffic. The contractor anticipates pedestrian and cyclist traffic will be able to cross the bridge by the end of September. Motorists are advised to watch for signs and drive carefully around construction workers and equipment as they continue working toward the completion of this project.
The St. Mary’s Road Interchange Project is a part of Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Perimeter Freeway Initiative, which aims to support the international trade hub and accommodate the anticipated future population of Winnipeg and surrounding areas.
