The Manitoba government will invest $20.3 million to reconstruct provincial trunk highways (PTH) 10 and 16 near Minnedosa to support rural Manitobans, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor announced today.
“Road investments are vital to support rural and northern Manitoba’s economy and these upgrades will support Minnedosa’s economy as the community continues to grow,” said Naylor. “These repaved highways will allow residents to grow their businesses as they welcome more visitors and create infrastructure that can support future economic growth.”
A key commerce route in southwest Manitoba, PTH 10 will receive new bituminous pavement between PTH 1 and PTH 25 and between the south junction of PTH 16 and the north junction of PTH 16. There will also be new bituminous pavement for Minnedosa’s rest stop at the north junction of PTH 16. These projects will renew approximately 22.1 kilometres of highway, with work anticipated to begin in spring 2025, noted the minister. Surface improvements are also planned on PTH 10 between PTH 24 and the south junction of PTH 16, and on PTH 16 from PR 250 to PTH 10.
“Safety is a priority for our government,” said Naylor. “These new road investments will allow a smoother and safer journey for residents, and a repaved rest stop will ensure motorists can safely take breaks so every person is able to get to their destination safely.”
This work in the Minnedosa area supports Manitoba’s Multi-year Infrastructure Investment Strategy, which outlines planned strategic investments in roads, highways, bridges, airports and flood protection over the next five years in Manitoba, noted the minister.
