Hey there, time traveller!

The 18th Street reconstruction project in Brandon resumed this week and could cause some traffic disruptions.
Stage 7 of the 10-stage project started on Tuesday, causing partial closures to the northbound lanes from Aberdeen Avenue to Queens Avenue. This stage is expected to take five to seven days, according to the City of Brandon website.
The remaining three stages include construction on 18th Street from Queens to Park avenues (northbound), Queens to Park avenues (southbound) and Queens to Aberdeen avenues (southbound).
Each of these stages is expected to take three to five days, but the schedule could vary depending on weather, traffic and road conditions, the website said.
The construction includes minor concrete curb repairs, milling and paving. The province has contracted the work to Zenith Paving.
The project initially started in the fall of 2024, after the province announced in September that it would spend $9.7 million on reconstructing 18th Street — a part of Highway 110 — between Aberdeen and Rosser avenues. All together, the project would rebuild a 2.9-kilometre stretch of road.
The province expected the project to be completed in October but ultimately had to extend the completion date into 2025.
Manitobans voted Brandon’s 18th Street as the worst road in the province in 2024, according to a CAA survey.
