WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s NDP government is investing $20.4 million to repair dikes and dams throughout the province.
Projects recently completed, currently underway or scheduled to start imminently include:
- Rehabilitating the west dike on Provincial Trunk Highway 75 near St. Norbert;
- rehabilitating multiple dikes on the Assiniboine River between Portage la Prairie and Baie St. Paul;
- rehabilitating the Carman Dam;
- replacing the Wanipigow Dam 25-10E at English Brook; and
- rehabilitating the Cox Drain.
“The Town of Carman supports the continuing efforts of Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure to extend the lifespan of the Carman Dam,” said Brent Owen, mayor of the Town of Carman, in a statement. “As our community grows, provincial support for critical infrastructure is very helpful. Any money being spent to improve infrastructure is always a great thing for rural municipalities like Carman.”
Other upcoming dam projects include the Rivers Dam, which is currently out for tender, with a construction contract expected to be awarded in the fall, stated a release.
Manitoba’s Budget 2024 invests $500 million in capital funding to repair and rebuild highways and public infrastructure to spur economic development and make it easier to get around the province.
