Construction to cause delays at Portage and Main [Video]

As work is set to begin to open Portage and Main to pedestrians, drivers should expect delays beginning on Tuesday.

According to the City of Winnipeg, sections of both roads’ curb and median lanes will be closed intermittently over the next four weeks as part of the pre-construction work.

These preparations will allow for major construction work to begin in mid-November.

Construction work at the intersection will include:

  • Demolishing the barrier walls.
  • Installing new traffic signals and streetlights.
  • Adding a curb extension to the southeast corner.
  • Repairing existing medians.
  • Installing new curbs and sidewalks.

Work is expected to be completed in June 2025.

The city said it will provide construction staging details and traffic impacts before the start of construction next month.
