WINNIPEG – Pembina Highway will be completely closed for the February Long Weekend.

From 8:00 pm on Friday, February 15 to 4:00 am on Tuesday, February 19, Pembina Highway between Jubilee and Stafford will be closed both Northbound and Southbound.

The closure will facilitate the installation of girders for the new Transitway over the Pembina Bridge. Roadway access for Winnipeg Transit and emergency vehicles will be maintained during the closure.

Access for pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained on the east sidewalk.

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

To improve traffic flow on Jubilee Avenue and Osborne Street while the closure is in place, parking on eastbound Jubilee Avenue will be restricted between Nassau Street South and Osborne Street, and also restricted on northbound Osborne Street adjacent to the Brandon Avenue intersection.
