Manitoba Infrastructure has committed to making changes at an intersection in Swan River that has been prone to collisions.
The Government of Manitoba released a new report that shows the perspective of almost 350 Manitobans on safety improvements at the intersection between Highway 10 and 83.
These Manitobans had participated in an online public engagement about ways to improve safety at the intersection.
Two options were presented to residents of Swan River for input: the addition of protected left-turn lanes, and the construction of a new roundabout.
76 percent of respondents preferred the addition of a protected turn lane over the construction of a new roundabout.
Manitoba Infrastructure is implementing the improvements and construction is anticipated to be underway in the 2022 construction season.
