The Manitoba government is investing $20.3 million to upgrade sections of Highways 10 and 16 near Minnedosa.
The project will repave about 22.1 kilometres of Highway 10, including stretches between Highway 1 and Highway 25, and between the south and north junctions of Highway 16.
The Minnedosa rest stop at the north junction of Highway 16 will also receive new pavement. Additional surface improvements are planned for Highway 10 between Highways 24 and the south junction of 16, and 16 from 250 to 10.
“Road investments are vital to support rural and northern Manitoba’s economy and these upgrades will support Minnedosa’s economy as the community continues to grow,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor.
“These repaved highways will allow residents to grow their businesses as they welcome more visitors and create infrastructure that can support future economic growth.”
Construction is expected to begin this spring.
