Yeah I know, another fine piece of third world highway infrastructure, feel for those that have to travel that piece of shot road on a daily basis!

Maybe Canada should spend some taxpayer generated foreign aid dollars in Canada before improving highways and infrastructure in foreign lands!

Never been further north than Wekusko Falls.

Went camping at Stephenfield Prov Park on the weekend. Hwy 3 between Oak Bluff and Carman was so bad with the frost heaves pulling our travel trailer that we decided to detour north from Carman over to Hwy 2 for the drive back. The gravel road into the campground from PR 245 was so badly washboarded I couldn't go faster than 5 kph. Campers traveling across Canada are often advised to avoid Manitoba due to the poor highway conditions, although #1 is in mostly good condition.

Maple Leaf is to repave between Brunkild and Carman. Are they on site yet? There is some 2021 work in that job.

Not as of yet. It was worth it to detour over the Hwy 2. Much better highway.

Whomever had the contract for Highway 18 (Killarney to 23 Jct) did an outstanding job! Paved shoulders as well!

On TCH prior to the Ontario border, is that new highway? Or did they just repave the westbound lanes?

Not sure if any of you are familiar with this intersection (PTH 12 @ PR 210) but I definitely think MIT should make it RIRO with accel/decel lanes as there is a service interchange about 1.5 km north of it and it is a relatively low volume intersection.

Need a diamond there. Or some type of connection up to the 207 interchange might work. It's a provincial road so should require a higher level of service. If it's not required, downgrade the class of road.

I take my cat to Waldenway on 210, just west of #12. It can be quite busy trying to get across. There 1400 vehicles on each of 207 and 210. 10,000 a day on #12 at that location.

anthonyk · #**1070** Posted **Sep 13, 2021, 4:09 PM**

I guess I meant it as an interim solution but we all know that interim might as well mean ultimate/permanent when it comes to MIT!

We use that intersection several times a year and have never found it that dangerous. There are much more dangerous intersections in my area such as 206 @ 1, 206 @ 207 and 206 @ 311. Reducing the speed limit on 12 @ 210 would probably help, although most people don't seem to slow down for these intersection speed reductions.

There's so many locations that need attention, it's hard to prioritize. #1, 100/101, and 75 would top the list. Locations like this on #12, #10 near Brandon, etc should be next on that list.

However if we waited until all of #1, 100/101, 75 were completely taken care of, everyone currently alive will be dead.

Best solution for 210 would probably be a flyover with no access to #12. Like I said, could use 207, especially from in Ste. Anne. However, if you're going to build a bridge there, might as well make it a diamond.

Of interest. The ESRI / ARCGIS database has recent updated sat photos. I haven't browsed that database in awhile.

I was on the East St Paul Public access map, and the aerial has the 59N floodway bridge U/C.

If we are talking of crappy roads that need to be fixed badly PR 275 fr Swan River to the SK border has been waiting to get expanded and repaired for like 35 plus years… the local highways people have said they have been advised to use gravel as patch work and as the pavement gets more wrecked just use gravel and eventually have it turn into a gravel road.
Also PR 487 in the Swan Valley has been expanded and still waiting for pavement for 20 plus years. A part of it in the south is paved a bit but not much else is.

It’s tough when the south is wanting attention when places in the north are forgotten about at times.

Hwy 10 and 83 need some good love too .. rough roads at times

1ajs · #**1075** Posted **Sep 29, 2021, 4:13 AM**

how does highways allow repairs that fall apart the next day get done?

anyhoe in the know hear anything on this?

the bridge is a crater of potholes that are deep and taring the wooden deck to shreads... basicaly a one way bridge doging the holes and everytime they patch it within days its back to the way it was befr they patched it also gotta slow down to 20kmph or rip ur car apart its bad... and they just repaired it the other day again

Drove to MB a couple of weeks ago from QC. TCH Westbound starting near Hwy 11 was brand new and smooth as silk, it is brand new.

South perimeter was in really good shape too, but jesus those lights need to go.

I drove on number 3 to Carman. What are they doing between Sperling and Carman? Adding a passing lane?

From Carman to Roseisle - brand new pavement, great drive.

Highway 23 was a disaster from #5 to Ninette. They even have a permanent sign installed telling you to lower your speed because the road is rough.

That stretch was amazing. Then I went south of Lena to the border. Ying and Yang, holy smokes..

I use the south Perimeter to take my kids to their swimming lessons at Margaret Grant Pool and the combination of high traffic volumes, high speeds, narrow lanes, nearly non-existent merge lanes and traffic lights make for one of the most treacherous stretches of road I've driven on anywhere. It is brutally substandard.

bomberjet · #**1079** Posted **Nov 1, 2021, 2:29 PM**

The old rural highways are shit and usually very narrow.

23 is supposed to be redone next year, at least from Minto to Baulder.
