Empress Street and Empress Street East are regional streets and truck routes that are in need of renewal and rehabilitation. The City of Winnipeg is conducting a study to plan for complete roadway and overpass improvements on these streets, while also taking an opportunity to create new and improve existing cycling and pedestrian facilities in the study area. This study will develop a preliminary design for the project with construction planned for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
