Major renewal of Corydon Avenue between Shaftesbury and Kenaston now underway
Work is underway to make a high-traffic stretch of Tuxedo roadway work better for the community.
Officials from three levels of government gathered today to celebrate the start of construction on the $7.5 million Corydon Avenue Renewal project.
The cost-shared project spans Corydon Avenue between Shaftesbury Boulevard and Kenaston Boulevard. Work includes roadway improvements, new active transportation pathways, Transit stop upgrades, and upgraded sewer and water infrastructure.
Highlights of the project include:
- Resurfacing all lanes between Tuxedo Avenue and Kenaston as well as westbound lanes from Tuxedo to Shaftesbury
- Adding a paved multi-use path from Park Boulevard to Kenaston to provide links through multiple attractions and fill gaps in the active transportation network
- Building new Transit stops, curb bump-outs and a new Transit shelter to improve accessibility and safety
- Completing essential sewer and water upgrades
The Government of Canada is contributing at total of $2.015 million to the overall renewal project. This previously announced funding is a combination of the federal share of the Accelerated Regional Street Renewal program ($1.935 million) and $80,000 from the Canada Community Building Fund (now the Community Stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund) for the Transit upgrades.
The Province of Manitoba is providing $1.935 million through their share of the Accelerated Regional Street Renewal program.
All sewer and water renewal costs are being funded by the City of Winnipeg.
Initial work on the project began in late May. The improvements should be completed by late 2026.
