The Manitoba government is investing over $400,000 in road and bridge upgrades in the North.

Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Ron Kostychyn made the announcement yesterday. He said the north is critical to the health of the Manitoba economy and that the investments will ensure businesses and municipalities can continue to grow and prosper.

Approved projects include grading provincial road 391 from Thompson to Suwanee River, and structure rehabilitation on 391 at Burntwood river.
