Infrastructure

Keeping our promises. Real progress for Infrastructure.

Budget 2018 puts Manitoba's economy on the road to recovery and provides a solid plan for making Manitoba the most improved province in Canada.

We're investing in priorities that support modern and safe infrastructure across Manitoba including:

• investing $350 million in capital investments for projects to ensure the long-term safety and viability of Manitoba's highway and road system, this in addition to the over $100 million invested annually in maintenance and preservation
• providing $70 million toward the channels project to improve regulation of water levels on Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin, and enhance flood protection for communities, First Nations, farms and businesses;
• providing $33.6 million to rehabilitate and reconstruct provincial dams, flood protection infrastructure and agricultural drains, including projects at Fairford Dam on PTH 6, at the Shellmouth Dam and reservoir, and improvements to river control structure and outlet structure at the Portage Diversion; and
• undertaking a review to the services we provide and how they are provided by consulting with communities, municipalities, First Nations and industry to inform changes to service delivery.
