Manitoba announced on Monday, January 29, 2024, that most of the provinces winter road system is now open.
“Manitoba’s winter road system is a crucial transportation route for many northern communities,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor. “Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure is dedicated to providing safe winter road routes, as soon as weather conditions allow. Despite milder temperatures in December and January, our government is pleased to announce the opening of these vital routes.”
The 2,375 kilometres of temporary seasonal roads that cross muskeg, streams, rivers and lakes allows for the delivery of essential goods to remote northern communities. The road system typically operates between mid-January until mid-march to 22 communities carrying mostly fuel, construction materials, heavy equipment and store supplies.
