Manitoba to spend $115M on Highway 2 upgrades
The Manitoba government says it will spend $115 million to upgrade Provincial Trunk Highway 2. The province plans to repair and replace structures on the highway, which runs from the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border to the outskirts of Winnipeg, Premier Wab Kinew and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor announced Friday in a news release. Part of that project will include the rehabilitation of 15 kilometres of Highway 5, north of Highway 2, which is expected to lift restrictions and boost the axle weights allowed on the road during spring thaws, the news release said. Other upgrades include grading repairs on Highway 34, where a temporary guardrail and reduced speed limit were installed to increase safety, the release said. Two bridges near Highway 2 are also set to be replaced over the Assiniboine River. One of those bridges is along Highway 34, north of the community of Holland.
