With the provincial deficit soaring to $1.6 billion instead of the projected $360 billion, I'll make a prediction: they're going to slash the provincial highways budget. My guess is that we'll be lucky to see the McGillivray interchange built on the perimeter. Whenever money is tight, historically the highways budget has been the "go-to" item for cuts.

a $1.3 billion account error, I'm sorry why do we even listen to these idiot politicians. if that happened in private sector when a business was sold, there would be multiple people behind bars.

whoever is BS'ing should be. yes revenue forecast were depending on rain (Hydro), but that can't account for it all. Us taxpayers just assume that PC are BS and NDP are BS so we are all ok with everyone BS'ing

^ you are actually surprised that with the spate of spending promises towards the election (that you dutifully posted on here each and every time) and an obviously weak economic outlook - that the PC's budget was bogus?

The PC's knew the election was lost, and made promises that the next Gov't probably would need to cut back on - probably for political capital more than anything else.

Here are some innovative intersections that could be used in some places in Manitoba

Which city roads have that level of traffic volume?

Maybe Hwy 5 and 1 near Carberry could use an RCUT or something like that. And there are multiple roads in Winnipeg that could also use that.

There are multiple roads in Winnipeg that need an interchange. Not a stupid roundabout. Roundabouts don’t go on hwys. Especially ones that have zero visibility on certain times of the year…

Too bad we're broke with more important things to spend money on. We really need another million people spread around the province. There just aren't enough of us to pay for provincial infrastructure.

Conceptual design options for PTH 1 Symington overpass available here.

Should that thing just be 6-laned?

bomberjet · #**2056** Posted **Dec 10, 2023, 7:03 PM**

Theyd have future widening planned, just didnt show it. 4 lanes through there is plenty, rarely ever busy enough for 6 lanes.

I actually dont like any of the options. If i had to choose, option B. The murdoch road location needs better access. Theres a lot of extra roads and distance that could be mitigated with a diamond over there.

Overall the tone is eveything is very expensive except for option A. So you can guess where it will end up.

Alsono consideration given to how Bishop would connect at some future point. They mention it once, but dont give any info.

Not saying we need roundabouts, but we should have throughabouts, which are like roundabouts but with traffic signals. I like the idea of interchanges, but they are expensive. Some types of intersections at Carberry such as RCUT, etc would be good for a temporary solution till an interchange could be built. And in Winnipeg, those throughabout intersections can handle traffic in two signal phases. We don't need interchanges necessarily, but better intersections with less conflict points.

I mean, a freeway section of Hwy 1 would be good for high speed and traffic flow, but unfortunately, it wouldn't be good as it would cut through residential properties, but I'm sure they'd redevelop anyways in the future when Sage Creek or a new neighbourhood expands East. It would be good as Fermor would act as a Centreport Canada Way Analogous route.

Carboy15 · #**2059** Posted **Dec 11, 2023, 5:27 AM**

I really do not like the idea of having one entrance to Plessis Road. However, the realignment would be best for free flow traffic and No slowing down the speed limits

I wish there would be more than one access to Plessis Road. Having just one in the entire route is stupid. It would piss people off as they would have to drive a longer distance. But it would be costly to build two seperate bridges for the new alignment, but that would be the best

Ok, then how is New Brunswick with a population of ~835K is able to have a 4-lane, controlled access TCH freeway (which is longer than MB's TCH), its two major highways to the US (NB-1 and NB-95 are 4-lane controlled access freeways) and its slowly twinning its other major highways or in areas where twinning is not justified due to low AADT counts, its major highways are built to a super-2 standard.
