The Manitoba government will invest over 870 thousand dollars of new infrastructure funding in key roads identified by northern Manitoba municipalities as needing repairs, improvements and upgrades.

In this area the city of Flin Flon will receive funding for .5 kilometers of Green Street and Oak Avenue road habilitation and sidewalk repairs.

The Town of Snow Lake will receive funding for .2 kilometers of Cedar Street, Poplar Street, Wekusko Street and Johnson Street road renewals.

Premier Greg Selinger noted northern roads are affected by extreme weather conditions and require more attention to maintain to link communities and ensure safe and smooth travel for local families, commercial vehicles and tourists.
