Winnipeg, MB - Construction of the Ness Avenue Bridge over Sturgeon Creek will begin December 7. As a result, Ness Avenue between School Road and Valley View Drive will be closed from December 2015 to October 2016. Traffic and transit will be re-routed for the duration of the project. For detour details and further information, please visit: Ness Avenue at Sturgeon Creek Culvert Replacement Project.

With a $14 million budget, through this project, the existing Ness Avenue at Sturgeon Creek culvert will be replaced with a new high level bridge with a 75 year lifespan. This will:

  • improve safety and functionality
  • prevent roadway flooding
  • provide bank stability and protect against erosion
  • improve active transportation through the site
  • improve surrounding roadways through reconstruction and rehabilitation
