The Manitoba Government announced plans for $502 Million worth of infrastructure work for next year.

Infrastructure Minister Blaine Pedersen announced the projects Friday as he released the 2017-18 construction tendering schedule.

Most of the work involves paving and grading projects across the province, although there are some improvements to intersections.

Three major projects were announced for the Northern region. Highway 10 from The Pas to Highway 287 will be paved, Improvements for Highway 280 by Split Lake and surfacing part of Highway 373 by Whiskey Jack.

The $502 million planned for 2017-18 also includes other major projects that have been tendered or where construction has started such as paving 17 km of Highway 10 from the Flin Flon airport access to the east junction of Highway 10A.
