NEW THh PAS BKIMit KEY TO NORTH ROADS Number 10 highway in northern Manitoba is undergoing a major facelifting. Included are a new bridge at The Pas, re-location of the roadway in the vicinity of Flin Flon, and paving and improvement programs in the vicinity of The Pas. Latest step in this development was the ceremony held Saturda71 October 19, to mark the start of work on the bridge over the Saskatchewan River at The Pas. Transportation Minister Stewart E. McLean referred to the bridge as a "new and vital link" in the northern road system of the province. Participating in the ceremony were Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs John B. Carroll, Minister of Labour C.H. Witney, Mayor Harry Trager of The Pas, and Chief Gordon Lathlin of The Pas Indian band. The $1.63 million bridge is to be made of steel and re-inforced concrete and will be about 1,200 feet long. The new bridge is to be finished in the late fall of 1969, and will improve truck service into the north, which is now handicapped by load restrictions on the present obsolete bridge. Tenders have been opened for the grading of the last portion of the re-location of No. 10 highway at Flin Flon. Low bid of the six submitted is $259,746 from Pneumatic Drilling and Blasting Limited of St. James. This covers 1.5 miles and includes blasting and removal of 47,000 cubic yards of rock, with work to be completed by next summer.
