I have to admit I was a bit surprised, but for the most part the highways in Manitoba that need to be twinned already are.

The sweet spot for highway improvements are things like surfacing, shoulder improvement, intersection improvement, passing lanes, etc. Which is pretty well where most of the attention has been focused in recent years. A few more interchanges would be helpful too, but it sounds like that's coming.

I would add 59 south to St Pierre, or at least to the junction of PTH 52, which is an absolute shit show during most parts of the day. I agree on the interchanges too, although that can't happen fast enough. There are many other areas that warrant improvement too.
