Crews across Winnipeg will be working hard to repair and upgrade nearly <strong>150 lane kilometres<\/strong> of roads, bridges, and active transportation routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Around During Construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know construction can be a hassle, but it\u2019s essential work that helps keep our roads safe and our city moving. Whether you&#8217;re biking, driving, or walking, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll see signs, cones, and crews out in full force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, major work is happening in areas like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>McGregor Street<\/strong> from McAdam to Church<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dugald Road<\/strong> between Plessis and Ravenhurst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inkster Boulevard<\/strong> from Aikins to Landsdowne<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Westbound Abinojii Mikanah<\/strong> from St. Anne\u2019s to River Road<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These upgrades are about improving your daily commute, reducing long-term maintenance costs, and making our city\u2019s infrastructure more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bridge Work Underway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also investing in our bridges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ongoing rehabilitation of the <strong>Pembina Highway Bridges<\/strong> over the La Salle River<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New work starting on the <strong>Pembina Overpass at Abinojii Mikanah<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interim repairs on the <strong>Louise Bridge<\/strong> this summer, with the <strong>Midtown Bridge<\/strong> work kicking off in the fall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Informed &amp; Plan Ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help you get around more easily during construction season:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the <a><strong>Lane Closures Map<\/strong><\/a> to see what\u2019s currently blocked and why<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the <a><strong>Road Construction Map<\/strong><\/a> for project timelines and traffic impacts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download <strong>Waze<\/strong>, a free traffic app connected to the City\u2019s Transportation Management Centre and real-time driver updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Shared Responsibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s all do our part to keep things moving. If you\u2019re heading through a construction zone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Slow down<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay patient<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Follow posted signs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And above all, <strong>keep workers and each other safe<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Winnipeg\u2019s roads and infrastructure. These investments make travel smoother \u2014 not just this summer, but for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paving the Way for Smoother Travel This Construction SeasonBy Councillor Cindy Gilroy | June 11, 2025 With the warmer weather &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Paving the Way for Smoother Travel This Construction Season\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/2025\/06\/17\/paving-the-way-for-smoother-travel-this-construction-season\/#more-5914\" aria-label=\"Read more about Paving the Way for Smoother Travel This Construction Season\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5915,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","infinite-scroll-item","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-20","resize-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5916,"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5914\/revisions\/5916"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cindygilroy.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
