The roads right next to Minnedosa are getting a multi-million dollar upgrade this spring. The Manitoba government has announced plans for a $20.3 million investment into sections of

Provincial Trunk Highways (PTH) 10 and 16.

The proposed upgrades include the repaving of just over 22 kilometres of highway along #10, including stretches between the Trans-Canada and Highway 25, as well as between the north and south junctions of PTH 16.

The truck rest stop, that’s located just northwest of Minnedosa, 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.

In a media release announced the project, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor said “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,”

She also added that “Safety is a priority for our government. These new road investments will allow a smoother and safer journey for residents, and a repaved rest stop will ensure motorists can safely take breaks so every person is able to get to their destination safely.”

An exact time for the road repairs to begin was not announced, but the work is expected to start sometime in the spring.
