Construction Begins on Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 3 Between Carman and Brunkild on May 24
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI) reports construction will resume on 35 kilometres of PTH 3 between Brunkild and Carman on May 24.
PTH 3 is currently operating as the detour route for PTH 75 that is closed due to flooding. The construction on PTH 3 will require areas of single-lane traffic with pilot vehicle control, and motorists can expect delays for both regular PTH 3 and detoured PTH 75 traffic. PTH 2 is available as an alternate detour route for PTH 75 that will result in minimal delays.
MTI is closely monitoring floodwaters at PTH 75 as they begin to recede. The department has prioritized reopening PTH 75 and will do so as soon as conditions allow.
The project involves resurfacing PTH 3 and adding passing lanes.
Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure will update impacts to traffic through the Manitoba 511 information system at [www.manitoba511.ca/en/index.html](https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.manitoba511.ca/en/index.html__;!!IqQd2s6KUyvHwNLtrw!oCWppwSOv70xB6EG7qp1PehhaeC17hTrEUR8fGCyma1LeBZ5gK58DKh_6bwKYqLHDpfANMI1scdH7hlNs9rnkARY%24).
