Today, the Governments of Canada and Manitoba celebrate the completion of the Headingley Divided Highway Improvement Project.
The project, which began last summer, involved the reconstruction of an existing 1.8-kilometre, undivided section of the Trans-Canada Highway in the Rural Municipality of Headingley, west of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The project consisted of:
- new pavement and rehabilitation of existing pavement;
- a new raised median;
- three-metre-wide paved shoulders with rumble strips;
- service roads to replace existing highway access;
- lighting upgrades;
- improved signage; and
- intersection enhancements including turning lanes and signal lights that will provide access to the planned Headingley Business Park.
This work was undertaken by Mulder Construction Ltd. The project has resulted in a divided, limited-access highway between the Husky service station and the John Blumberg Sports Centre intersections, which will enhance safety and improve the flow of traffic on this busy stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.
