The Manitoba government is spending $20.3 million to reconstruct provincial trunk highways 10 and 16 near Minnedosa, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor announced Monday. Work is expected to begin this spring on the upgrades, which will renew about 22.
1 kilometres of highway, Naylor said. As a key commerce route in southwest Manitoba, Highway 10 will receive new bituminous pavement between highways 1 and 25 and between the south and north junctions of Highway 16. The work will also include new bituminous pavement for Minnedosa’s rest stop at the north junction of Highway 16.
Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor says the highway upgrades will improve safety and help the area's economy. (Mike Deal/Winnipeg Free Press files) Surface improvements are also planned on Highway 10 between Highway 24 and the south junction of Highway 16, and on Highway 16 from Highway 250 to Highway 10. In a news release issued Monday by the province, Naylor emphasized the economic rationale for the project.
“These upgrades will support Minnedosa’s economy as the community continues to grow,” she said. “These repaved highways will allow residents to grow their businesses as they welcome more visitors and create infrastructure that can support future economic growth.” The highway improvements will also make it safer to travel in the area, Naylor said.
“Safety is a priority for our government. 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,” she said. The project is part of 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, she added.
