Transportation Minister Ron Kostyshyn has announced the Manitoba Government is investing heavily this year in road and bridge upgrades in the north.

In this area work that took place last summer on number ten highway will continue.  Number ten will see paving of 29.6 kilometers from Wanless to highway 39, grading of 17 kilometers from the Flin Flon airport access to the east junction of highway 10A and intersection improvements from the Flin Flon airport access to the east junction of highway 10A.

  Kostyshyn says the north is critical to the health of the Manitoba economy and these improvements will ensure businesses and municipalities can continue to grow and prosper.
