Province Advises 48-Hour Closure of PTH 59 and North Perimeter (PTH 101) Starts Tomorrow at 10 p.m.



Manitoba Infrastructure reminds motorists a 48-hour closure of the intersection of PTH 59 and North Perimeter (PTH 101) starts tomorrow at approximately 10 p.m.  

The closure will allow for the safe and efficient demolition and removal of the last remaining section of a concrete loop to make way for the new interchange. 

The demolition and removal will be finished before the Monday-morning rush hour on May 16. 

Advisory signs about a detour are in place well before the closure and notices have been published.  Information will also be issued through the 511 information system and Twitter feeds. 

Motorists are reminded to slow down and drive safely when they see construction signs and flaggers at the roadside.  Drivers are required to reduce speeds to specific limits in construction zones under the Highway Traffic Act. 

The latest information on roads is available at 511(toll-free), www.manitoba511.ca or by following the Twitter account at www.twitter.com/MBGovRoads.
