A new bridge in Winnipeg’s south end will open to traffic on Sunday afternoon, September 21.

The Kenaston Boulevard/Bishop Grandin Boulevard bridge has been under construction for months to improve traffic flow in the bustling area.

Traffic travelling southbound on Kenaston to eastbound Bishop Grandin will now use the bridge, as shown in the diagram above.

While the rest of the intersection is open, the northbound right turn from Kenaston to eastbound Bishop Grandin will be closed temporarily to allow for completion of intersection construction.

The city says an official opening of the Waverley West Arterial Roads Project will be held at a later date.
