The City of Steinbach would like to inform the public that starting early in the morning on Thursday, July 17, traffic management will change along Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 12 and Loewen Boulevard.

The following updates will be in place until further notice:

  • Southbound and northbound traffic on PTH 12 will be redirected to use the southbound lanes between south of Elmdale Street to north of Loewen Boulevard before Millwork Drive. Northbound PTH 12 lanes in this area and a portion of Loewen Boulevard east of PTH 12 will be closed.
  • Right-in/right-out access onto Loewen Boulevard west of PTH 12 will be available for southbound PTH 12 traffic.
  • Access to businesses along the east side of PTH 12 will be maintained through a delineated drive aisle within the parking lot area.
  • The intersection at PTH 12 and Millwork Drive will return to normal.

Officials say that this update to the traffic management plan will allow the contractor to continue work on the northbound PTH 12 lanes and Loewen Boulevard.

The City thanks all drivers and residents for exercising caution and following signage when travelling in the area, and for their patience as work on the Loewen/PTH 12 Intersection renewal project continues.
