The Manitoba Government will be going ahead with paving number ten highway between the Bakers Narrows airport and Flin Flon. When asked for information on the project by Arctic Radio News MLA Tom Lindsey contacted the Infrastructure Ministers office. He says he got a reply from the Minister’s department and that reports the crushing of aggregate started the week of August 1st, the guard rail installation started the first week of July, the resurfacing with pavement is expected to start in early September and weather permitting the project should be finished in early October with a budget of nine million dollars.
There had been many rumors around the community that the new Progressive Conservative government had cut the budget and the highway would not be paved this year.
