WINNIPEG — Aecon Infrastructure Management has been awarded the design-build contract for construction of the new intersection at PTH 100 (Perimeter Highway) and St. Mary’s Road.
Manitoba officials announced Aecon will start construction this spring.
“Our government has committed to investing in strategic infrastructure plans for 2022-23 to support economic opportunities for the province, including building towards the Winnipeg One Million Perimeter Freeway Initiative and Manitoba’s Trade and Commerce grid,” said Manitoba Infrastructure Minister Reg Helwer in a press release. “Manitoba’s 10-year vision to establish the province as a national trade hub will enable a strong economic recovery within and across our borders.”
The province added site preparation and contractor mobilization will start in the next few months. The province will contribute $135 million to build the new interchange with an anticipated completion date of summer 2024.
“Residential, commercial and industrial growth in Winnipeg and surrounding communities has demonstrated the need to create safer and more efficient roadways,” added Helwer. “Building on initiatives the government has taken over the past few years, these projects will help ensure safe and efficient movement of goods and services and create employment and economic opportunities for all Manitobans.”
