A study is underway into improving safety at the intersection of Highway 5 and the Trans Canada Highway, and Manitobans are being invited to provide their feedback.
The intersection near Carberry was the scene of a horrific crash on June 15th of last year between a bus and a semi truck, that resulted in the death of 17 people and injuries to 8 others from Dauphin and the surrounding area.
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor says the government wants to hear in particular from people who use that stretch of highway often and can best weigh in on what improved safety features should be considered.
A public open house regarding design work for improvements to that intersection will take place on July 16th from 6:30 to 8 pm at the Carberry Community Memorial Hall.
