The Manitoba government says it is moving our highways out of the fifties and sixties

Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton says last weeks announcement on improvements to number six highway from Winnipeg to Thompson is a commitment to an important connection for Flin Flon, The Pas, Thompson and other communities in the north.  He says the key element here is with this investment they are going to be raising the level of the highway up to national highway standards.  He says instead of a 1950s or 60s level of design people are going to see a real difference.  In fact he adds they have 50 millions dollars work on highway six in the upcoming year alone and over the next over the next five years they are investing 187 million dollars.

             

Ashton says they have committed to other roads noting the Premier has announced the upgrade over several years of number ten highway between Bakers Narrows and Flin Flon starting next spring.
