This project involves the construction of a new four-lane corridor linking Winnipeg’s inland port to the Perimeter Highway.
The roadway will connect Inkster Boulevard, the James A. Richardson International Airport and the Canadian Pacific Weston rail intermodal facility to the Perimeter Highway. These upgrades will improve access to trucking depots, the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport and the CPR freight terminal, as well as reduce truck travel times, therefore increasing the efficiency of the Gateway.
The local community will benefit from this project, which will improve traffic flow, create jobs and improve the quality of life of local residents. This will also lead to environmental benefits, as the upgrades to Inkster Boulevard will reduce congestion and vehicle emissions.
All financial figures are anticipated federal contributions for projects, most of which are cost-shared with important contributions from partners, including British Columbia and other western provincial and municipal governments, ports and railways.
All projects are subject to funding commitments of all partners, completion of due diligence, contribution agreements and final federal project approval.
