Weir to Overshoot 1967 68 Highway Budget by 10 Million
Manitoba highways minister Walter Weir told the Legislature the department will likely exceed the 1967 68 spending estimates by 10 million dollars as costs rise. He cited 48.3 million for the highways and water control branches with delayed work from last year. A spokesman said construction costs are up about 20 percent from last year with similar expectations this year. Key projects include the Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie divided highway, the Portage bypass and the perimeter highway, plus surface work on 59 miles of the Trans Canada between Portage la Prairie and the Saskatchewan border. The province will also complete hard surfacing on Highway 6 in the Interlake to Eriksdale and improve the grade north of Eriksdale.
