The province’s winter road network is coming together slowly but surely.

Larry Halayko with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation says the mild start to the winter put them 3 weeks behind on construction:

"They’re all in different stages of progress right now. We did open the road to Brochet yesterday (Wednesday), so that is open, that was the first winter road open in the province and that one’s pretty much on track. Other ones are expected to come online towards the end of the month here".

Halayko says some roads might not be complete until February, depending on the progress.

The roads are considered a life-line for many living in the remote communities.
