Portions of a southern Manitoba fuel pipeline that was temporarily shut down for unplanned repairs could be back in operation earlier than expected.
The Imperial Oil pipeline between Gretna and Winnipeg supplies gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to Manitoba’s capital region.
Fuel is being transported via train and truck while Imperial Oil replaces a section that is south of St. Adolphe and runs under the Red River. The energy giant shut down the pipeline in mid-March.

Imperial Oil announced on March 17 that it was shutting down a pipeline between Gretna and Winnipeg for maintenance work that could last three months.
While drilling work continues, the replacement pipeline is being “rigorously” pressure tested to ensure integrity before it is installed, the Calgary-based company said.
The pipeline is still expected to return to full service in June.
“The company is looking at opportunities to bring portions of the line back online sooner to ensure we can supply fuel products to Winnipeg and the surrounding area in the most responsible, efficient way,” Imperial Oil wrote in its latest project update. “We continue to rely on alternative supply chains to support supply in the region as the maintenance work progresses.”
