AI Article Summary
The Manitoba government announced plans to build an overpass at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and PTH 5 near Carberry following consultations and a safety review. This decision follows a tragic collision at the intersection two years ago that claimed 17 lives. The project, which aims to enhance road safety, will commence in 2027 and take approximately two and a half years to complete. The plan involves land acquisition and environmental approvals during the design phase.
