WINNIPEG — The province is preparing to temporarily close a section of the North Perimeter Highway to accommodate nighttime construction.
Manitoba Infrastructure will close the off-ramp that connects the northbound Perimeter at PTH 190 (CentrePort Canada Way) for roadway maintenance on Tuesday, October 12 from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. the following day.
The first closure to exit 45 will run on the same schedule nightly until the final closure on October 16 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The alternate route for this closure is exit 50 at Provincial Road (PR) 221.
Officials say the work will include diamond grinding on the concrete surface, which will result in a quieter ride and better traction for greater safety.
