Conceptual Design Study PTH 1E (5.0km West of PR 301 to the Ontario Boundary)
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI) is planning to twin a section of the Trans Canada Highway (PTH 1) from 5.0km West of PR 301 to the Ontario Boundary.
The first phase of the project involves a conceptual design study to determine the route corridor alignment for upgrading the existing two-lane to a four-lane limited access highway and will take approximately two years to complete. The project includes the replacement or reconstruction of two existing interchanges at PR 301 (Falcon Lake) and PTH 44 (West Hawk), access requirements at Hunt and Lyons Lakes, including other areas of concern (Barren and Falcon Creek), and the replacement of an existing flyover of PR 301. Additional interchanges or grade separations may be required at additional locations. The project will include extensive public engagement with Rights Holders and stakeholders to develop a full understanding of the Indigenous, environmental, parks, local and cost issues for the twinning of the highway. A formal consultation is required with the First Nations Communities.
The scope of the project includes conceptual, functional and detailed designs and Indigenous consultations for land acquisition, utility relocations, grading, structures, paving, wildlife fencing and corridors, and active transportation facilities.

Functional Design PTH 1E and Plessis Road and Preliminary Design of Structure over CN Sprague Subdivision (Site 3102-10)
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure is in the planning stages of the functional design for the realignment of Provincial Trunk Highway 1East (PTH 1E) and Plessis Road and a new structure over the CN Sprague Subdivision.
The Symington Yard Overpass was constructed in 1960, and serves as a vital link on PTH 1E through the City of Winnipeg. The overpass conveys four lanes of traffic, two eastbound and two westbound lanes, over six tracks at the CN Symington Yard and Plessis Road.
The current interchange of PTH 1E and Plessis Road are substandard. The replacement overpass will have to accommodate interchange improvements to meet the current and future alignment standards.
In 2020, MTI completed a Conceptual Design Report for the project, which included public and stakeholder engagement and identified a preferred conceptual alignment. For the Functional and Preliminary Design Study currently underway, the design team will investigate two more alignment options in addition to the preferred conceptual alignment identified during the Conceptual Design Study.
MTI has engaged a Consultation Services Provider (CSP) to implement a public and stakeholder consultation program to communicate project information and gain feedback concerning this project. Functional and preliminary designs are informed by both technical studies and public input and feedback throughout the process.

Functional Design Study for PTH 3 Twinning (1.6 kilometres east of PTH 100 (Road 7E/Wyper Road) to Winnipeg City Limits (Brady Road))
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI) is in the planning stages of the twinning of Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 3 with a four-lane divided highway on the existing alignment, or realigned PTH 3 to connect to the City of Winnipeg Abinojii Mikanah (Bishop Grandin Boulevard).
This highway has seen a significant increase in traffic over the last decade resulting in the need for a reconstructed surface and level of service improvements to the highway capacity and intersections in the near future.
The purpose of this project is to develop a functional design study considering the two main corridor options, preferred intersection functional designs and conceptual design for future northerly-southerly connections of PTH 3. This functional design study portion of PTH 3 (1.6 kilometres east of PTH 100 (Rd 7E/Wyper Road) – Winnipeg City Limits (Brady Rd)) is approximately 6.7 kilometres in length.
The functional design study will take approximately one-and-a-half years to complete. A functional design study is the early phase of the design process in which the road right-of-way and roadway layout are established based on projected travel patterns and demand. Functional designs are informed by both technical studies and public input and feedback throughout the process.
Public Engagement
Functional Design Study PTH 101 (West JCT PTH 1 to East JCT PTH 1)
PTH 101 is part of the ring road originally constructed in the 1950s and 1960s as a bypass route around the City of Winnipeg, and, together with PTH 100, is known as the Perimeter Highway.
The purpose of this project is to develop a study that will accommodate the future development of the north Perimeter Highway into a fully grade-separated freeway that can ultimately accommodate six lanes.
This functional design study will take approximately two years to complete. A functional design study is an early phase of the design process in which the road right-of-way and roadway layout are established based on projected travel patterns and demand. Functional designs are informed by both technical studies and public input and feedback throughout the process.

Functional Design Study for Intersection Improvements and Bituminous Rehabilitation PR 215 In Beausejour: 7.2km East of PTH 12 - PTH 44
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI) is planning intersection improvements and bituminous rehabilitation along Provincial Road (PR) 215, 7.2 km east of Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 12 to PTH 44. The goal of the project is to improve traffic operations and pavement rehabilitation in the community. The study area is in the Town of Beausejour and the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead.
