A heads up if your travel plans take you to Winnipeg in the coming days.
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure has announced that it will be closing a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway in the Rural Municipality of Headingley from June 24 at 6:30 a.m. until June 28 at 9 p.m.
This closure will allow for the reconstruction of the Trans-Canada Highway which includes road and Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway improvements consisting of the installation of new railway tracks, railway signals, and the widening of the rail crossing in addition to surface improvements.
Westbound and eastbound lanes will be closed to traffic.
Westbound traffic will be detoured off the Trans-Canada Highway onto Provincial Trunk Highway 100 to PTH 3 then onto PTH 2. Motorists will then travel on PR 248 north back to the Trans-Canada Highway.
Eastbound traffic will be detoured off the Trans-Canada Highway onto PTH 13 to PTH 2, then onto PTH 3 before merging back onto the Trans-Canada Highway.
Most commercial vehicles are permitted on the detour, however, long combination vehicles will be limited to travelling in the daylight hours.
