Manitoba Infrastructure: Service Delivery Review
Manitoba Infrastructure is committed to ensuring safe, reliable and sustainable infrastructure and services for Manitoba and its communities.
The Department is conducting a review of all our services and are seeking input from the public on our role going forward.
The Review is based on four key questions:
– What should be our strategic lines of business?
– How can we better deliver those lines of business?
– Are we getting the best value for money and return on investment?
– What can we do to improve infrastructure sustainability?
Manitoba Infrastructure is responsible for the delivery of many services:
– Highways: Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Road Information Services
– Bridges & Culverts ̶̶ Water Management
– Flood Mitigation ̶ Government Air Services
– Drainage Assets ̶ Crown Lands
– Hydrologic/Forecasting ̶ Emergency Management
– Motor Carrier Services ̶̶ Disaster Recovery Programs
– Northern Airports ̶ Provincial Shortline Railways
– Winter Roads ̶ Ferries

1. Infrastructure Construction
2. Infrastructure Maintenance
3. Water Related Assets
4. Motor Carrier Services
5. Emergency Management
Staff are available to answer your questions and listen to your comments about any of the services delivered by Manitoba Infrastructure. We also invite you to fill out a comment sheet.
Provincial Highway NetworkProvincial Trunk Highways
� Are almost always paved� Typically have high traffic volumes � High levels of service in
construction and maintenancePaved Provincial Roads
� Typically have moderate traffic volumes
� Moderate levels of service in construction and maintenance
Gravel Provincial Roads� Lower traffic volumes � Lower levels of service in
construction and maintenance

Highway ClassificationNot all highways or roads are the same; they can be classified based on characteristics:
Strategic highways (mostly paved PTHs)� Focus: trade and commerce� International, inter-provincial, inter-regional, inter-city
Regionally important highways (mostly paved PRs)� Inter-municipal, inter-community� Focus: commerce and commuting
Locally important highways (mostly gravel PRs)� Typically �end of trip� routes: limited through traffic
� Focus: access to local businesses, farms and residences
Purpose of Highway Classification is to set service levels and priorities:Engineering� Maintenance� Capital project
prioritization� Allowable loading
Setting Priorities and Levels-of-Service on the Provincial Highway
Network
Highway MaintenanceWinter maintenance: Snow and ice control
Surface maintenance: Repair potholes, cracks and ruts, base and sub-grade repair, pavement marking, sweeping
Gravel maintenance: Distributing, blading, and reshaping gravel roads and gravel shoulders, dust management
Roadside maintenance: Culvert repairs, roadside clean-up and drainage management, highway sign maintenance and replacement
Maintenance Prioritization� Surface condition of the highway network is rated each fall based on
roughness, wheel rutting and cracking to determine requirements for surface work.
� First priority is given to Winter Operations based on Winter Levels of Service.
� The remaining maintenance budget is allocated based on safety, standards and best practices. The Work Programs generally include surface, shoulders, gravel, roadside, signs and drainage.

Construction Project PrioritizationConsideration when developing the Capital Program includes: � Asset Management principles� Focus on preserving and renewing existing infrastructure � Network needs (asset condition, safety, capacity, environmental,
geotechnical, maintenance, drainage, loading, stakeholder feedback)
� Supporting the provincial economy (increases to allowable weight limits, focus on strategic highways)
� Normalizing work among regions and industry sectors � Federal cost-share programs criteria � Government priorities/focus
