What happened
The province of Manitoba is proposing an overpass and two roundabouts for the intersection of the Trans-Canada and Highway 5, which was the site of a 2023 crash that killed 17 people. The government pledged to build the intersection, which Premier Wab Kinew stated would cost "north of $100 million." The province reversed earlier plans for a restricted crossing U-turn design after community opposition.
