Hey there, time traveller!

Highway 10 is one of several rural highways getting “major improvements over the summer months” as part of a $201.4-million announcement sent out by the province on Tuesday.
According to that release, 43 kilometres of Highway 10 will be reconstructed and restored along two separate stretches of road north of its junction with Highway 16.
The first area is a 10.4-kilometre section starting 1.2 kilometres north of the Highway 16 junction, which will cost an estimated $17.7 million to fix.
The second area starts 11.6 kilometres north of the Highway 16 junction and ends 2.6 kilometres north of Provincial Road 354.
Also in Westman, Highway 3 is receiving an estimated $90.1 million worth of upgrades.
An area extending from the northern junction with Highway 3A to the northern junction of Highway 34 is having surface reconstruction and a section stemming from the Saskatchewan border to the south junction with Highway 83.
Other areas of Highway 3 around Crystal City, Pilot Mound, Manitou, Morden and Winkler will have other reconstruction and preservation work performed on them.
Highway 2 from St. Claude to Elm Creek south of Portage la Prairie will have 25.5 kilometres rehabilitated for an estimated cost of $26.5 million, while Highway 23 going through Baldur and Mariapolis will receive an estimated $57.5 million worth of work.
Infrastructure Minister Doyle Piwniuk said in the release that the majority of work is expected to be complete by the end of summer as long as weather permits.
“Manitoba is a thriving hub of business and tourism, and our government is committed to ensuring our roadways can support this work and get visitors and equipment where they need to be safely,” Piwniuk said in the release.
“These major upgrades to western Manitoba’s infrastructure support our five-year infrastructure investment strategy and represent government’s commitment to building our economy and investing in Manitoba’s future.”
