WINNIPEG – The Manitoba government is investing $18.3 million into renewal of Provincial Road (PR) 224 from PR 325 to the Fisher River First Nation.
Reconstruction of the 45-kilometre section of PR 224 will include excavating failed sections, repairing the subgrade and replacing the surface.
“Many sections along PR 224 became nearly impassable due to large surface failures caused by the 2024 spring breakup. This road is the main access route to Peguis First Nation, Fisher River First Nation and many other communities, and our government is committed to restoring its serviceability,” Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor said in a statement.
Sections that have not yet failed will receive a thin lift overlay of bituminous asphalt to increase the overall life of the roadway and the gravel shoulders along the route will also be reconstructed, Naylor added.
Construction is expected to be complete in fall 2025.
