The City of Selkirk is partnering with the Province of Manitoba on the reconstruction of Main Street from Manitoba Avenue to Taylor Avenue this summer. The travelling lanes of Main Street in Selkirk are owned and maintained by the Province of Manitoba Highways Department and have been identified as being in poor condition. As such, the province will be investing into the reconstruction of these five blocks. The city, responsible for turning/parking lanes, will complete work on these areas at the same time, resulting in a significant cost savings.
In addition to the reconstruction of this section of Main, several safety and accessibility features will be added including a North/South bike lane, newly reconstructed sidewalks, and crosswalk enhancements.
Construction is set to begin in June (weather depending) and will allow for traffic throughout the duration of the project with periodic closures as needed. The project is set to be complete in October of this year.
