Hey there, time traveller!

The main drag into Dauphin is to get $13 million in improvements, the province announced Monday.
Premier Heather Stefanson and Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Doyle Piwniuk made the announcement in Dauphin, some 300 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
Plans for the south access road had been in the works for several years, Piwniuk said in a news release. Expanded commercial development along the route in the city — which has a population of 8,457, with another 2,400 living in the surrounding rural municipality — has resulted in increased traffic volumes and higher collision rates, the release said.
The 1.7- kilometre project covers a section of Highway 5A from Whitmore Avenue south to Triangle Road in Dauphin. It aims to improve safety and traffic flow along the high-volume thoroughfare and trade route, the province said.
It includes surface reconstruction with the creation of a divided highway, improving safety within the developed commercial area with service roads on the east and west sides of the highway, and creating a signalized intersection at the local shopping centre entrance.
The project goes to tender by the end of May, the province said.
The work is expected to be completed in 2023, ahead of the 2024 Manitoba Summer Games hosted by Dauphin.
