The province has issued an $18.3-million tender to build four sets of passing lanes on Highway 8.
The lanes, each about two kilometres, will be located between Highway 67 and Gimli.
The work has been tendered for construction to be completed in fall 2026, a Thursday news release said.
Traffic has significantly increased on Highway 8 in the past few years, “limiting passing opportunities for drivers,” Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor said in the release.
“This investment will enhance traffic safety, reduce collisions and save lives while also ensuring continued access for businesses, residents and those visiting the area.”
