Winnipeg Transit broke ground on the construction of a garage in Oak Point on Tuesday.
The $200-million facility is being built at the intersection of Selkirk Avenue and Oak Point Highway. The project, with funding from all three levels of government, is scheduled to be completed in 2027.
“Oak Point Garage is critical to the growth and success of Winnipeg Transit,” Mayor Scott Gillingham said in a news release. “By building this state-of-the-art garage, we can add more 60-foot buses to the fleet and keep improving transit for riders across Winnipeg.”
A fleet of more than 600 buses currently operate from three garages at 421 Osborne St., 600 Brandon Ave., and 1520 Main St.
The new 259,000-square-foot location will replace the Main Street garage and will have a maximum storage capacity of 171 40-foot buses.
