Perimeter Highway | Winnipeg

For all topics related to Winnipeg's Perimeter Highway. Including the Headingley Bypass, St. Norbert Bypass and other highways related to CentrePort. CentrePort has it's own stand alone thread. But any major roadways could be included here. Since there are plan's for ongoing upgrades over the next 5-10 years, and beyond; and the off topic discussions in other threads; I thought this thread would be warranted. The Province of Manitoba recently raised the PST by 1%, a very highly publicized and volatile move. This money is now to be dedicated to core infrastructure. Below links to major announcements recently for upgrades related specifically to the Perimeter: PROVINCE MOVES AHEAD WITH PLANS TO DOUBLE CENTREPORT CANADA WAY, REDUCING TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY BOTTLENECK WEST OF WINNIPEG http://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.htm...ve=&item=30144 MANITOBA GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO BUILD CORE INFRASTRUCTURE, CREATE 58,900 JOBS FOR FAMILIES http://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.htm...ve=&item=30080 MANITOBA GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS GROWTH IN SOUTHWEST WINNIPEG, CONNECTS PRIMARY TRADE ROUTES WITH PERIMETER HIGHWAY UPGRADES http://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.htm...ted=2013-11-26 New!

North Perimeter AT overpass (direct link to PDF) http://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/pdf/pth101boards.pdf PTH 59N & PTH 101 Interchange project (direct link to PDF) http://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/pdf/info.pdf Both of the above are sort of linked together now due to proximity. PR 330 & PTH 100 Intersection Improvements http://www.gov.mb.ca/mit/intersection/index.html The above is still applicable, although the at grade intersection is now to be designed as an interchange. What will actually get built is another question. In a nutshell, the Province of Manitoba has committed to upgrading the Southwest Perimeter to freeway standards, including interchanges at PTH 2/3, PR 330, and at Kenaston/Waverley/future Headingley Bypass. Another poster (thanks Biff) provided some insight into the Southeast Perimeter upgrades. This includes median widening from St. Mary's PTH 1 east interchange and potentially interchange grading at St. Mary's, St. Anne's and going back to the Southwest Perimeter, at the Headingley Bypass. |
To keep the conversation going, some quotes pulled from the "Wpg: Chief Peguis Trail Extension" Thread.

Two quotes from today on the Free Press twitter feed:
@martycash: The Headingley by-pass will cost about $150 million but costing and routing designs are still to come. 11:48 am on Mar 10 martycash @martycash: This morning the province is announcing it will build a Headingley by-pass extension to CentrePort Canada Way that was opened in Nov. 11:46 am on Mar 10 http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/ Maybe we'll see something else coming in the news today. Another posted, can't remember who, had said the bypass would likely include a diamond at a mid point connection and a highway style interchange at the White Horse. It would also have to include the completion of the CCW interchange at the perimeter. Another post on the CBC page: Construction on headingley bypass to start soon, Ashton hopes it will be completed within 5 year infrastructure plan #cbcmb by Chris Glover via twitter on 10/3/2014 at 11:51:11 http://www.cbc.ca/manitoba/ This post up on the province website: PROVINCE MOVES AHEAD WITH PLANS TO DOUBLE CENTREPORT CANADA WAY, REDUCING TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY BOTTLENECK WEST OF WINNIPEG http://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.htm...ve=&item=30144 Image posted on Global News Website http://vipmedia.globalnews.ca/2014/0...0&h=480&crop=1 http://globalnews.ca/news/1198441/ne...ss-headingley/ |
Good idea for a thread, BomberJet.
With these improvements to the North Perimeter (at least in the short term), I wonder whether the north by-pass becomes a more attractive route for truck traffic than the "official" south by-pass. Less at-grade crossings, less lights, and a Headingley by-pass... |
So it looks like the 16 / TCH interchange is dead then.
They should also continue the east Brandon Bypass beyond PTH 10 (south) and have it join the TCH at Kemney. |
Quote:
The potential diamond interchange, if accurate, would most likely be for provincial road 334, which the two lane 334 likely be the "over" route. Considering that it seems to cost was spared on the CCW/Perimeter interchange I would personally be shocked if the CCW/1 intersection was not a full interchange as well. Quote:
Now, my bigger questions are: when with COW announce the CTP to CCW extension that has been talked about and when will the HWY 75 bypass get some serious traction? Added bonus - the future Waverly/Kennaston interchange at the Perimeter is heavily tied to the plans for the HWY 75 by-pass. |
Interesting news regarding the extension of CCW to the Trans-Canada. That is practically light speed for a phase 2 by Manitoba standards.
I hope the interchange built at 1/26/190 is sufficient for two twinned, high speed highways and not a cheap cop-out like the diamond at 100/2 which will likely result in traffic lights remaining on McGillivray Boulevard and the off/on-ramps. Even though CCW is intended for industrial and logistics traffic, I wonder if it will have an effect on residential and retail activity in the Assinboia area? Having Manitoba's best highway to zip around on might have the side effect of encouraging more people to live in that area. |

So the much needed PTH 59N & PTH 101 Interchange project get pushed back once again in favour of "everything" for Centre Port at all cost!:(

* Upgrade existing route. Existing MB-1 corridor used with no new alignment necessary. Interchanges would most likely be at MB-10 and 18th Street. Some compromises would be necessary (i.e. a lower speed and a third lane in each direction due to weaving). Service roads would need to be realigned and some expropriation necessary. * Freeway alignment to the north. Existing MB-1 could be closed off and the service roads used for local use. Interchanges would be most likely at MB-10 and Rugby Road (better separated, allowing a 110 km/h speed throughout). Some farmland needs expropriation but provides the most room for an interchange at Highway 10. My preference. * Freeway alignment to the south, a bit closer to downtown. Again, MB-10 and 18th Street would be most suitable for interchanges. A few businesses and some farmland would need to be expropriated, and interchange spacing is again a bit of an issue. As for returning at Kemnay, that is a big problem unless reconstruction takes place - trucks aren't allowed on the western part of 1A due to the low bridge! Although that is a good place for an local interchange, it is not a good primary route. |
Yes, some projects are being put on hold due to CCW, but if we want this industrial park to succeed, the 1st tri-modal hub facility in Canada, and increase,jobs,investments and our tax base, what do you choose? The greater long term benefit to all Manitoba's or a faster commuter time?
We do tend to talk about Manitoba's Economic situation on this forum quite frequently? (Ain't good right?) Yes, a better,faster road system for drivers, or more potential economic activity for the entire province. Tough call. |

^Yeah, what's up with that? Clearly not what was built there. Ultimate build out maybe?

Quote:
Either way It will likely just end up being not as elaborate with so many bridge structures......the last design had 7 bridge structures. I am hearing as long as the new design works out it should be fast tracked - the funding is still apparently allocated for it. |

Yes, a smart jurisdiction should have lined up business to fill the park but this jurisdiction failed. Water/Sewer issues delayed all that is CentrePort. I'm still stinging due to the loss of a potential $15 Billion Data Center. Remember Google. The infrastructure was NOT in PLACE to proceed. It has apparently now been solved or is in the process of being solved.. $200+ Million for CCW pails in comparison to the 15 Billion lost for not having the area ready to take on new industrial clients. Their are 27 already their at this time. I don't find myself disagreeing with you but seeing it from an all encompassing long term point of view. Both are needed, for the tax payers of this Province and long term economic progress in Manitoba. Time for a change in who runs Provincial and City Politics? I don't believe we'll disagree to much on that one. ;) |
Here's another shot from the Free Press showing the cloverstack.
