The Government of Manitoba announced that its $32.7-million investment to address improvements along Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 5 in the Dauphin area are now open.
“These much-needed improvements enhance traffic flow, water diversion and boost the safety and curb appeal of the route for community members and travellers,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor. “These improvements will make our roads safer and support growing our economy by building important infrastructure that matters to Manitobans, especially in rural Manitoba.”
This project consisted of three sections:
Intersection improvements, traffic signals and service road construction as well as the reconstruction of PTH 5A including concrete curbing, raised medians, sidewalks, culvert installations, granular subgrade, granular base course and bituminous pavement on 1.8 kilometres from Triangle Road to Whitmore Avenue with a total cost of $21.8 million.
Construction of a land drainage and retention pond system for the City of Dauphin, funded by the city. The Manitoba government funded the infrastructure to support this project including approximately 885 meters of underground pipe and two retention ponds, with a total cost of $9.6 million.
Construction of a bituminous pavement on a 0.8 km section of PTH 5A in Dauphin from Whitmore Avenue to Fourth Avenue South with a total cost of $1.3 million.
“This investment marks a significant step forward for the City of Dauphin, enhancing not only the safety and accessibility of our roads but also supporting our growth as a regional hub,” said Mayor David Bosiak, City of Dauphin. “These upgrades to PTH 5A will improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety while fostering economic development for our community and region. We are grateful to the Manitoba government for their commitment to infrastructure, which strengthens both our local economy and our quality of life.” |
