Working group on highways infrastructure to review 2024 program

A meeting to review the status of the 2024-25 highways capital program, including tendering and scheduling of projects, will be held May 30 with senior MTI officials, including the deputy minister.

A working group, composed of representatives from the department, MHCA and ACEC-MB will also focus on the ways to avoid unplanned carryover of projects.

The department has said the vast majority of projects for the 2024 program budget has been tendered and awarded already because, in part, much of the work is unplanned carryover from the 2023 construction season.

MHCA is also concerned by the government’s decision to halt the policy of carrying over unexpended program dollars to the subsequent year’s program, a policy that has been in place since 2020.

The association will also reiterate the need for the department to release publicly a report on the condition and needs of the transportation network – highways, roads and bridges – so an informed discussion on crafting a plan to move closer to the necessary investment levels for the highways capital program.
