June 3, 2016 – The recently released Manitoba budget, the first under new Progressive Conservative Premier Brian Pallister, will see a reduction in capital investments in the province’s highway network.
The latest edition of The Heavy News Weekly, the weekly e-newsletter published by the Manitoba Heavy Construction Association, includes a breakdown of the budget and how it will impact the provincial construction industry.
According to the newsletter, the 2016 capital commitment for highways is earmarked at $540 million, down from $588 million in the previous year. Details of where the reductions will be attributed have yet to be released. Most other infrastructure spending allotments have remained flat.
