FOR MANITOBA ROADS Manitoba's Department of Public Works is developing a long-term program of highway construction which calls for a minimum expenditure of 130 million over the next ten years, it was announced by Hon. F.C. Bell, Minister of the department, in the provincial Legislature. This year's 27-million-dollar outlay for roads is the first in- stalment on the long-range plan, Mt. Bell stated. Plans include $92 million for rebuilding and resurfacing of provincial trunk highways; $20 million for extension of the trunk highway system; $15,300,000 for completion of the Trans-Canada highway and $3 million for completing the bypass to the north of Winnipeg. The length of time these projects will take to complete will depend on the amount of aid received from the Federal Government, Mt, Bell stated. Completion of the program could be expected in less than the allotted ten years, he said, if federal aid was expanded. The estimated $20 million for trunk highway extension provides for the addition of 500 miles of highway - location of which will be determined . by traffic counts, Mt. Bell stated. Increased traffic on Manitoba highways is expected to result from the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway, the minister pointed out. - 30 - PROVINCE OF MANITOBA PROPOSED HIGHWAY PROGRAMME 1956 - 1957 Location Mileage Nature of work Trans-Canada Highway East P.T.H.
