The Manitoba government will build a new interchange on the South Perimeter Highway. The decision to build an interchange advances the government's push to turn the South Perimeter into a six-lane freeway to improve safety. "This is the beginning of a new South Perimeter Highway, and we would like to eventually see the entire Perimeter becoming a limited access" highway, Schuler said at the announcement. "Eventually all mud roads and all access points, except those by bridges or signalled intersections, will be removed off the Perimeter," Schuler said. In time, roadways that once crossed the South Perimeter will be diverted onto interchanges and overpasses, while Highway 100 will be moved above railways.
