Winnipeg Awards $18.26M Contract for Major Lagimodiere Twin Overpasses Rehabilitation Project

A significant infrastructure contract worth $18,267,178.71 has been formally awarded by the City of Winnipeg to PCL Constructors Canada Inc. for the renovation and upgrade of the Lagimodiere Twin Overpasses over CPKC Keewatin, as well as associated road construction and drainage improvements. The contract is scheduled to run from December 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028. The award was published on November 27, 2025.

This major infrastructure project will support long-term transport needs for one of Winnipeg's busiest corridors while also increasing traffic efficiency and roadway safety.

A Multi-Year Transformational Infrastructure Improvement

The City presented a thorough scope of work under Solicitation 295-2025 with the goal of updating pavements, enlarging embankments, modernising bridges, and enhancing drainage systems. In keeping with Winnipeg's vision for safer, more connected mobility options, the rehabilitation will also add active transport pathways.

The following are important project components:

2026 City-Funded Projects, Part 1

• Rehabilitating the southbound bridge structure

• Demobilisation and mobilisation (First Section)

Section 2: 2027 City-Funded Projects

• Rehabilitating the northbound bridge structure

• Installing a structure for overhead signs

• Significant widening and rehabilitation of the northbound and southbound lanes

• Improvements to the entrance and exit ramps

• New active transport route construction:

  • The Lagimodiere Path, which leads to Ravelston West

  • Concordia Road (Peguis to Molson)

• Urbanisation and Concordia Avenue rehabilitation

• Demobilisation and mobilisation (Part 2)

Together, these initiatives seek to improve public safety, lessen traffic congestion, and prolong the life of essential transportation infrastructure.

A Procurement That Is Competitive Under National Trade Agreements

The project was submitted as a Request for Tender (RFT) and adhered to significant trade agreements, such as:

• Comprehensive Trade and Economic Agreement, or CETA

• CFTA: The Free Trade Agreement of Canada

• The New West Partnership Trade Agreement, or NWPTA,

In order to guarantee project dependability and execution capability, bidders had to offer significant security, such as a 10% bid bond and 50% performance and labor/materials bonds.

Following assessment, PCL Constructors Canada Inc., with its headquarters located at 1540 Gamble Place in Winnipeg, was selected as the winning contractor.

An Important Expenditure for Winnipeg's Transportation System

A vital arterial route that supports thousands of daily commuters, commercial traffic, and regional connectivity is the Lagimodiere corridor. The twin's rehabilitation is anticipated to:

• Enhance the safety and structural integrity of bridges

• Meet the increasing demand for traffic

• Boost access for bicyclists and pedestrians

• To lower the risk of flooding, upgrade drainage systems.

• Increase the vital transportation assets' operational life

The project is a forward-thinking investment in resilient urban mobility and sustainable infrastructure, with a completion date of June 30, 2028.

Looking Forward

The City of Winnipeg's choice to give PCL this multi-year contract demonstrates their dedication to superior engineering, cutting-edge urban planning, and long-term transportation planning. Residents can anticipate phased construction, enhanced mobility infrastructure, and increased security throughout the Lagimodiere corridor.

Long-term benefits from this project will support Winnipeg's economic growth and community connectivity for many years to come.
