Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 3 is a major link between the City of Winnipeg (McGillivray Boulevard) and PTH 100 and destinations south of PTH 100. Increasing traffic volumes, in part precipitated by commercial and industrial development along the corridor, means that twinning may need to be considered in the short to medium term. The purpose of this study is to develop a functional design and access management plan for twinning PTH 3. The plan will consider options for two main corridor alignments: (1) the existing alignment to connect to McGillivray Boulevard and (2) a realignment to connect to Abinojii Mikanah. This functional design study will take approximately one-and-a-half years to complete. 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.
We Want to Hear from You Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure has met with stakeholders and local community in May 2023 to introduce the project and collect initial feedback. Following this engagement, the study team developed road alignment and intersection options. We are now asking the public to provide input on the proposed options for the PTH 3 Functional Design Study.
