New provincial funding has been assigned to help address critical winter road conditions in the north.
Manitoba’s winter road system is made of temporary routes built to provide access to remote northern communities, allowing residents to receive fuel, building materials, food supplies, and various goods and services.
Depending on weather conditions, the road network is open from late January to mid-March. Manitoba’s winter road system is over 2,356 kilometers long, crossing a variety of terrains including muskeg, streams, rivers, and lakes.
Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor announced an increase of $1.8 million (totaling 11.3 million) to enhance and maintain the province’s winter road system
