RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF HEADINGLEY, MB, Feb. 13, 2019 /CNW/ - Investments in modern efficient roadways are crucial in building economic activity, facilitating trade and creating well-paid middle-class jobs.

Today, the Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Rural Economic Development, and the Honourable Ron Schuler, Minister of Infrastructure for Manitoba, announced funding for eight highway improvement projects in Manitoba. 

A combined total of approximately 350 kilometres of road will be improved through these projects. Work involves repaving sections of Highways 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10 and 16.  Additionally, intersections will be safer by adding rumble strips and paving road shoulders at various locations. New lanes will also be added along a six-kilometre stretch of Highway 6 to improve safety, and along Highway 75 to improve connections to U.S. Border facilities. 

Trade is an important part of Manitoba's diversified economy and improvements to highway infrastructure are essential to ensuring market access and competitiveness. Once complete, these vital upgrades will help keep Manitoban drivers safe, improve traffic flow and boost trade to support economic growth for years to come.  

The Government of Canada is contributing $143,967,500 to these projects through the New Building Canada Fund while the province of Manitoba is providing $147,442,500.

These critical investments provide Manitobans with the tools needed to strengthen access in and out of surrounding communities, ensuring residents have a safe and healthy place to live, work, and raise a family."

The Honourable Ron Schuler, Minister of Infrastructure
