Please note, the special concessions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may be withdrawn depending upon the prevailing COVID-19 situation during the 2022 spring road restrictions period.
Manitoba Infrastructure will monitor the weather during the 2022 spring season to determine if a later start or an earlier end dates of the SRR are possible for any climate zone. New order(s) will be released during spring 2022 for a later start date and/or an earlier end date in a zone.
