Phase 3 construction on the 2019-2023 Archibald Pavement Renewal Project will begin in mid May 2023. The project includes the following three phases of construction:
Phase 1 – Elizabeth Road to Cottonwood Road
Completed in 2020
Phase 2 – St. Catherine Street to Elizabeth Road
Completed in 2021
Phase 3 – Plinguet Street to Doucet Street
Scheduled for May to October 2023
Phase 3 construction involves:
- Resurfacing existing pavement on Archibald from Plinguet to Doucet
- Constructing a new sidewalk and bike pathway on Archibald from Plinguet to Doucet
- Renewing the watermain on:
- Archibald from the CN Railway tracks south of Messier to Giroux
- Giroux from the back lane west of Dufresne to 80 m west of Dufresne
- The back lane west of Dufresne from Giroux to Kavanagh
- Kavanagh from the back lane west of Dufresne to Archibald
Traffic implications will be as follows:
- Archibald from the back lane north of Kavanagh to Doucet:
- Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction
- Archibald from Plinguet to Kavanagh:
- Southbound traffic will be removed
- Northbound traffic will be reduced to one lane
- Giroux from the back lane west of Dufresne to Dufresne:
- Local access only
- Back lane west of Dufresne from Giroux to Kavanagh:
- Local access only
- Kavanagh from the back lane west of Dufresne to Archibald:
- Local access only
- Parking will be removed on:
- Archibald from Plinguet to Doucet
- Giroux from the back lane west of Dufresne to Dufresne
- Kavanagh from the back lane west of Dufresne to Archibald
- Parking on side streets will be maintained where possible
- Rolling sidewalk and pathway closures will be required throughout the project - signage advising of alternate routes will be in place
- Transit service on Archibald:
- Northbound service will be maintained for the majority of construction with temporary bus stop relocations or closures required at various times
- Southbound service will be rerouted for the duration of construction
- Pedestrian and vehicle access to properties will be maintained as much as possible with short-term, temporary adjustments as required – any disruption to access will be communicated to the affected properties in advance
Phase 3 will begin with resurfacing of the west lane from Plinguet to Messier and water main renewals on Archibald, Giroux, the back lane west of Dufresne, and Kavanagh.

Background
The 2019-2023 Archibald Pavement Renewal Project is supported by the Government of Canada New Building Canada Fund and the Province of Manitoba. It involves reconstruction and rehabilitation on Archibald Street from Plinguet Street to Cottonwood Road.
The project will not have permanent implications for parking, loading, or routing; because of the project's limited scope it will not include any public engagement activities.
Instead, the City will be reaching out to and meeting with businesses, residents and property owners in the area to gather information about planned building modifications, accessibility and driveway approach modifications (if required). We will also be reaching out to transportation industry stakeholders to discuss rerouting and access needs.
Information gathered throughout this outreach will help us design and stage construction to have minimal impact on area stakeholders; it will also allow us to make accommodations where necessary.
The second phase of construction – Elizabeth Road to Cottonwood Road – was completed in 2021. The third phase of construction – Plinguet Street to Doucet Street – is scheduled to begin in May 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 2019-2023 Archibald Pavement renewal Project is part of the Accelerated Regional Street Renewal project under the Federal New Building Canada Fund.
The project will include a variety of roadwork from Plinguet Street to Doucet Street, St. Catherine Street to Elizabeth Road, and Elizabeth Road to Cottonwood Road including:
- Modifying or removing unused approaches
- Improving pedestrian corridors
- Minor lane reconfiguration
The project will be completed in three phases.
Phase 1 (2020) –Roadway resurfacing from Elizabeth Road to Cottonwood Road.
Phase 2 (2021) – Roadway reconstruction from St. Catherine Street to Elizabeth Road (including the Archibald Street/Elizabeth Road intersection).
Phase 3 (2022) – Roadway resurfacing and active transportation on Archibald Street from Plinguet Street to Doucet Street and water main renewals on Archibald Street, Giroux Street, the public lane west of Dufresne Avenue and Kavanagh Street.
Construction began in July 2020, with the section from Elizabeth Road to Cottonwood Road completed in October 2020 and the section from St. Catherine Street to Elizabeth Road completed in October 2021. Construction from Plinguet Street to Doucet Street is scheduled to commence in May 2023.
We will not be doing any formal public engagement on this project, as it does not have any permanent implications for parking, loading, intersection geometries, or routing.
Instead, we will reach out to and meet with businesses, residents, and property owners in the area to gather information about parking and loading needs, and planned private construction or renovations; this information will help us stage construction so it has minimal impact on area stakeholders and will also allow us to make accommodations where necessary.
We are working with area stakeholders to minimize negative impacts. We're taking stakeholder feedback into account as part of our staging plan, and will attempt to mitigate concerns around parking, loading and access.
If you believe you are a stakeholder in Phase 3 (Plinguet Street to Doucet Street) and we do not contact you by April 30, 2023, please reach out to us via 311.
Measures will be taken to ensure traffic impacts are kept to a minimum. We are meeting with the trucking industry to anticipate and mitigate concerns, and will post construction and wayfinding signage throughout the project area as construction progresses.
Reconstruction is done when the pavement surface and structure has failed (not just the surface or pavement joints). It replaces the entire pavement structure and typically includes renewal of all sidewalks, private approaches and full boulevard restoration. This project includes road reconstruction on Archibald Street from St. Catherine Street to Elizabeth Road.
Resurfacing is done when pavement structure is in fair condition, with pavement repairs (joints and select slabs) completed prior to resurfacing. It includes less extensive concrete repairs and new asphalt surfacing. This project includes the road resurfacing on Archibald Street from Plinguet Street to Doucet Street and from Elizabeth Road to Cottonwood Road.
Pavement Renewals are an essential part of road maintenance. We will not be changing anything major; we are, for the most part, just redoing what is already there.
Transit service is expected to be maintained during construction. Measures including temporary route detours and temporary bus stop relocations or closures may be required at various times during construction.
The Total Project budget is $15.75 million and is currently included in the City’s five-year capital budget forecast.
Access to businesses will be maintained as much as possible with short term, temporary adjustments as required. Approaches may be temporarily closed to facilitate construction. Any disruption to access will be discussed with the applicable business/resident, prior to the disruption.
Select sidewalks will be replaced and a new sidewalk and bike pathway is proposed to be constructed on the east side of Archibald Street from Plinguet Street to Doucet Street. We will add detectable warning tiles at street crossings where possible to improve pedestrian safety and revise alignment to improve pedestrian visibility for vehicles.
