PTH 101 - Functional Design Study

Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 101 is part of the ring road originally constructed in the 1950s and 1960s as a bypass route around the City of Winnipeg, and, together with PTH 100, is known as the Perimeter Highway. The north half of the Perimeter Highway (PTH 101) and the south half of the Perimeter Highway (PTH 100) are separated by the City of Winnipeg streets; Portage Avenue at the west end of Winnipeg and Fermor Avenue at the east end of Winnipeg. The purpose of this project is to develop a study that will accommodate the future development of the North Perimeter Highway into an access controlled, fully grade-separated freeway that can ultimately accommodate six lanes. A functional design study is an early phase of the design process in which the road right-of-way and roadway layout are established based on projected travel patterns and demand. Functional designs are informed by both technical studies and public input and feedback throughout the process.

Phase 3 Engagement

Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI) originally met with Rights holders, stakeholders and the local community in February 2023 to introduce the project and collect initial feedback (Phase 1 Engagement). Following this engagement, the study team developed road alignment and interchange options and collected feedback (Phase 2 Engagement, including EngageMB survey concluded in early 2024). The preferred road alignment and interchange designs have now been developed, and MTI is asking the public to provide further input on preferred options through the Phase 3 Engagement and new EngageMB survey. Please review the public engagement presentation below, which includes a presentation explaining the rationale related to the preferred designs (Intro) and drawings for the five separate segments along PTH 101. The department invites you to respond to the survey below, which discusses preferred changes to the five segments along PTH 101.

• North Perimeter Boards – Intro
• Segment 1: PTH 1 West (Portage Avenue) to south of PTH 190 (CentrePort Canada Way)
• Segment 2: North of PTH 190 (CentrePort Canada Way) to Prairie Dog Central Railway
• Segment 3: Prairie Dog Central Railway to PTH 8 (McPhillips Street)
• Segment 4: PTH 8 (McPhillips Street) to west of PTH 59 (Lagimodiere Boulevard)
  
• Segment 5: East of PTH 59 (Lagimodiere Boulevard) to PTH 1 East (Fermor Avenue)
• North Perimeter Boards - Final

The ultimate goal for this study, including the engagement process, is to develop a plan that will accommodate the future development of the North Perimeter Highway into a fully access-controlled, grade-separated six-lane freeway.
