I drive that every day and do not know of any cracking. They have not ground anything in the new section nor repaved any thing. They ripped up all the old WB stuff tho. What they did grind was the transitions from the older stuff to the newer stuff on the east side of work area.

What completely boggles my mind is why they opted not to follow the profile of the road on the east side of the intersection. The result is the new stuff goes from a very flat section of pavement, to one that has a more pronounced crown, and the transition is extremely awkward from one to the other as you pick up speed. So dumb. I could live with this if it was a literal 2-4 year temporary measure while they build an interchange, but that is certainly not happening given the amount they've spent on this slight improvement.

What a joke...

file a complaint with the minister of transportation or what ever that is called now aka write a letter explaining the short sited poor work tht was done

They basically finished the gap between the new pavement from the floodway expansion and the new pavement from reconstruction of the lanes to the east from ~10 years ago. The gap was there for an interchange which obviously isn't happening. So this new section will be in place for the rest of our lives, as they've selected higher priority locations for interchanges.

391 and 392 in there. 391 has 45km of upgrades..... starting in 2025 haha

They're both listed in a couple different locations in the documents, with some work starting this year.

Not on that document.

In terms of location it would likely use the empty field that is south of the current intersection. The Perimeter side is likely to be the "over" route. South flows aren't space constrained for ramps. West to north and north to east are fairly easy at grade additions, perhaps with dedicated floodway bridges. For north to west the flow likely goes past the interchange and has a flyover of the Perimeter when back at grade. East to north likely does a fly of CPT/Gunn before the bridge landing on the left of the north to west ramp and then sharing the flyover bridge of the Perimeter before meeting the Perimeter at grade.

Yes the site logistics are a little challenging but it is definitely workable.

Lol would it be Winnipeg if they didn't try to build houses on the only remaining right of way?

They left a little bit of space...

bomberjet · #**1629** Posted **Jun 9, 2023, 1:39 AM**

They left a corridor deaignated for CPT.

I don't really see it. Maybe by grassie Blvd I see what you mean. But at Gunn and the Perimeter, I could probably see them rip up Gunn and make it 4 lane, then connect the Oakbank Corridor

Massive crash on the Trans-Canada just outside of Carberry. Some reporting 15 dead. When are we going to start demanding better infrastructure.

It’s too early to know what happened, but how the f**k did we get double-digit fatalities on a twinned section…

It is strange. It is a typical major intersection on the TCH in Manitoba, but it is not a particularly busy or treacherous one. There is a long 80 zone along the TCH near Carberry, and it's pretty wide open so it's not like there are twists and turns in the road, or broken sightlines.

The CBC article mentioned Handi-Transit. That might explain the massive casualty.
This is sad.

Details of the crash so far sound very similar to the humboldt crash. there was a stop sign the semi truck was trying to turn eastbound onto highway 1. handi transit bus was full of seniors looks like the bus exploded upon impact with roof melted off. very tragic day.

Eastbound from where? Was it making a right turn or left turn?

I find right turn dubious because there are slip ramps for traffic to get up to speed after the right turn.

esquire · #**1638** Posted **Jun 15, 2023, 10:41 PM**

^ The bus was reportedly going from Dauphin to the casino south of Carberry, so it would have likely been turning. It was a divided highway and an 80 zone IIRC. Nothing here suggests this was a likely place for a major mishap... it's not as treacherous as the Humboldt Broncos bus collision intersection. Something went catastrophically wrong here in a very unlikely way.

VANRIDERFAN · #**1639** Posted **Jun 15, 2023, 11:06 PM**

The bus would have been crossing the TCH from North to South. The Semi was heading eastbound and would have had the right of way but should have slowed to 80kmph. There is reports of a stop sign missing but it appears the van and Semi would have taken out the stop sign as part of the crash.

A lot of you have been saying 80 kph. When I drove through back in 2017, it was 110 kph. When was it changed?
