Hey there, time traveller!

The province is spending more than $39 million to repair and upgrade highways and culverts in the Parkland region, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor announced Thursday.
“Our investment strategy in highways is robust and we are on track to build up areas that have been ignored for too long,” Naylor said in a news release.
Projects currently underway or scheduled to begin soon include:
• Bituminous surfacing on Provincial Trunk Highway 5A in Dauphin.
• Culvert replacements on PTH 10 south of Mafeking.
• Bituminous surfacing on PTH 10 from Provincial Road 271 to PTH 20 (between Pine River and Cowan).
• Surface restoration on PTH 16 from the Saskatchewan border to PTH 83.
• Road restoration on PTH 77 (three sections beginning 33 kilometres west of PTH 10).
Dauphin Mayor David Bosiak said his community is glad to see the projects going ahead, particularly the work on PTH 5A in the city’s south end.
“These upgrades are crucial not only for the safety and convenience of local residents and businesses, but also for the smooth transportation of goods and the continued growth of tourism in our area,” Bosiak said. “This project is a significant step forward in supporting the long-term prosperity of our community and region.”
The NDP’s 2024 budget allocated $500 million in capital funding to repair and rebuild highways and public infrastructure. Additional details on Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s capital projects can be found at: www.gov.mb.ca/mti/mipmap/map.html.
