An early blast of wintery weather is expected to move into Manitoba this week, bringing as much as 20 centimetres to certain parts of the province within 24 hours.
An early blast of wintery weather is expected to move into Manitoba this week, bringing an end to a busier-than-usual construction season in Winnipeg.
Winter can’t come soon enough for Mack Parman, a co-owner of Eadha Bakery Worker Co-op, an Ellice Avenue sourdough shop that’s been plagued by road construction.
Parman said they needed to close for 10 days due to no access to the shop which took a bite out of business.
"We definitely lost a lot of profits from all that, just not being able to be open,” Parman said.
It was a busy summer in terms of road construction.
“Crews have undertaken over 200 projects this year and that includes like reconstruction projects,” Ken Allen, communications coordinator for the city's public works department, told CTV News.
But incoming snow and cold temperatures are putting a freeze on road work.
