There's a link on the Provinces news release with detailed projects.

To note. Twinning of Hwy 15 from Winnipeg to Dugald. Twinning of PTH 59 from Ile des Chenes to PTH 52, and twinning of PTH 52 from 59 to Mitchell (to Steinbach basically). So another twinned hwy route from Winnipeg to Steinbach.

The only interchange is St. Mary's. The other new bridge project is the Symington Overpass which was talked about recently.

A little bit confusing. It lists the projects I mentioned as happening. But also gave this list of projects under consideration. Which are fairly major projects, including the twinning of #1 in Whteshell.

1. Interchange project: PTH 100 & PTH 3
2. Intersection Improvements: PR 215, 7.2km east of PTH 12 to PTH 44 (in Beausejour)
3. Surface Reconstruction (Twinning): PTH 1, 5km west of PR 301 to Ontario Border
4. Surface Reconstruction (Twinning): PTH 3, 1.6km east of PTH 100 (Wyper Road) to 6.7km east of PTH 100
5. Surface Reconstruction (Twinning): PTH 15, PTH 101 to 1.2km east of PR 206
6. Surface Reconstruction (Twinning): PTH 52, PTH 59 to Mitchell (Reichenbach Road)
7. Surface Reconstruction (Twinning): PTH 59, PTH 52 to PR 210
8. Surface Reconstruction: PTH 101, PTH 100 to PR 230
9. Surface Reconstruction: PTH 75, Pembina Emerson Point of Entry (US Border)

100 & 3 was announced like over a decade ago (remember the "interstate quality diamond" lol), how on earth can it still qualify as "under consideration"!?!?

bomberjet · #**1184** Posted **Apr 28, 2022, 8:09 PM**

wasn't in something like interstate quality drainage haha. I guess they're working on the design or something. Seems like it's next on the list. But this only goes 3 years out.

twinning PTH 59, PTH 52 to PR 210 can't happen soon enuf for me! I seem to be driving to Niverville very frequently and this stretch does get very busy from the end of the current twinning at Ile Des Chenes. Recently it mentioned that Niverville is one of the fastest growing municipalities so it makes sense to prevent accidents as traffic increases to be pro-active and get this done.

esquire · #**1186** Posted **Apr 28, 2022, 9:12 PM**

The twinning projects sound reasonable to me, there are a lot of very busy outlying roads that would stand to benefit from passing lanes and a median between directions.

Surface Reconstruction: PTH 101, PTH 100 to PR 230

I'm trying to figure out this one. From what I can tell, PR 230 is McPhillips Rd? So which was around is it. From the Portage or Fermor side?

It was "announced" as an election promise by Selinger's NDP when they already had no chance at winning. They also threw in St Marys, St Annes and Kenaston in the same announcement. PC's hardline budget cutting shut that down fast.

A decade later 1/4 will be complete, 1/4 will be underway and the other two probably another 5-10 years out.

The plan is to start McGillivray once St. Mary's is complete.

It also seems they're going with some larger bridge projects. Floodway at 59N is underway. Daly overpass in Brandon too. They have St. Mary's over floodway planned for a new bridge and the Symington overpass. Always have a couple larger projects on the go, which is good news.

Yea I guess theres more to the province than Perimeter

Fair point. They have those bridge projects you mentioned plus those hefty twinning projects lining up. Nice to see some capital projects moving forward finally after ~5 years of essentially simple repairs.

So I'll be in the grave before 16/TCH interchange and Brandon, Elie and Virden Bypasses are built?

You may still be in a personal care home when 16/TCH is built, but definitely dead before the others are built

bomberjet · #**1193** Posted **Apr 29, 2022, 3:03 PM**

We'll be long dead yes haha

Maybe once they get through the north perimeter design study phase, they'll refocus on some of the other locations that need attention. Maybe.

esquire · #**1194** Posted **Apr 29, 2022, 3:04 PM**

Best case scenario VANRIDERFAN's funeral cortege will pass over the brand new Brandon bypass on its opening day

And this is how I want it to look. (With the Canadian Flag instead of the Union Jack)

More than that: maybe passing over twinned TCH from Kenora to Whiteshell, then just interchanges until past Virden

That would be epic. Hopefully King William and Queen Catherine will be there to take the salute!

PTH 75 likely to be closed this evening at Morris due to flooding. This is one thing that is actually needed. A Morris bypass.

https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/?archive=&item=54343

At the presser. Major flood expected now, which is not surprising. Somewhere between 2009 and 1997 levels, depending how things go with the weather.

esquire · #**1199** Posted **Apr 29, 2022, 7:15 PM**

Morris is a major headache. It needs a bypass but if you look at an aerial image, it is not easy to build one. Awkward sites and multiple river and/or rail crossings no matter which way you go. It would have to be a very long and expensive bypass relative to the size of the town. Which is unfortunate because it is the weakest link in PTH 75 as it stands.

The highway system in the prairies and northern Ontario is a national embarrassment. The feds really need to step in and fix it. Winnipeg to the border should be controlled access along with Sask to Ontario. Auxiliary roads merging into major highways and traffic lights everywhere is 3rd world.
