Hey there, time traveller!

The province is providing a one-time grant of $1.7 million to the City of Winnipeg toward the replacement of the Creek Bend Road Bridge.
As part of the south Perimeter Highway safety plan, the new span replaces an aging piece of infrastructure. It is expected to open September 2024, a Manitoba government news release said Thursday.
The safety plan was developed in 2018, to reduce high-risk access points and improve traffic operations. It involves changes to access points along the Perimeter Highway, including the closing of median openings where intersections are controlled with stop signs.
The project also involves a new interchange at St. Mary’s Road and the Perimeter Highway, as well as service road upgrades.
Highway access points from Aimes Road and Melnick Road will be closed. The north service road will be upgraded to connect Aimes Road with Melnick Road to mitigate the closure of the highway access points.
Replacing the Creek Bend Road Bridge is a critical infrastructure project that will support the implementation of the safety plan, while also ensuring farm traffic and heavy transport vehicles continue to have the local access they need, the news release said.
