Please see this important announcement from the City of Winnipeg’s Public Works department

Northbound and southbound Pembina Highway between Jubilee Avenue and Stafford Street will be completely closed to vehicular traffic over the second and third weekends in December for demolition of the CN Bridge as part of the Southwest Rapid Transitway (Stage 2) project.  Both closures, December 7 to 10 and 14 to 17, will commence at 8 p.m. on Friday and continue until 4 a.m. the following Monday.

Construction will take place around-the-clock during both closures.

Roadway access for Winnipeg Transit and emergency vehicles will be maintained during the closure.

Pedestrian and cyclist access will be maintained by a shuttle service, with two pick-up and drop-off points located:

1. North of the underpass on the east side of Pembina Highway opposite Harrow Street, and
2. South of the underpass on the east side at the Jubilee Avenue yield onto Pembina Highway.

Motorists should allow additional time to get to their destinations, and use alternate routes such as Osborne Street, Waverley Street or Kenaston Boulevard.
