About time that the provincial government invested in infrastructure outside of Winnipeg...
I'm curious though - for the shopping area, why not just expand it to three lanes & spare the inflation down the line, in the next decade or so? Assuming Brandon is going to get more investment attention, when Winnipeg truly implodes from crime, lack of employment, sky-high taxes and driving everybody out of city limits... plus realistically, theres no other significant retail and/or industry in between Winnipeg and Regina, and they did mention how its currently a bottleneck situation. Why not just expand it to three lanes and prevent another Kenaston issue from arising? The bridge would help, yes, but wouldn't a road with much higher capacities also be the best solution as well?
