Province of Manitoba News Release
Due to growth in the region and the importance of PTH 10 as a major route, the current three-lane Daly Overpass structure has created a ‘bottleneck’ in the system. To remedy the situation, Manitoba Infrastructure is constructing a new four-lane facility to replace the 50+-year-old overpass. The construction period is expected to run until Late 2023. MI will continue to provide project updates throughout the construction period.
