Steinbach drivers and residents in the north end will need to find alternate routes and keep an eye on driveway notices as asphalt overlay work runs through late July. The City of Steinbach issued a notice on June 3, 2026, warning of ongoing intermittent closures and traffic adjustments on Stone Bridge Crossing, Maplewood Street, Cypress Place, Meadowood Place, and the surrounding neighbourhood.
Right now, the intersection at Stone Bridge Crossing and PTH 12 N is open to local access only, with full closures expected from time to time as work progresses. Crews are resurfacing nearly 1,000 metres of roadway including 530 metres on Stone Bridge Crossing from PTH 12 to Albert Street, 280 metres on Maplewood between Loewen Boulevard and Stone Bridge Crossing, and 90 metres each on Cypress Place and Meadowood Place.
The job is part of the city’s 2026 Capital Works Program and was awarded to Maple Leaf Construction for $1,379,680. The price came in well below the consultant’s estimate of $1.97 million. According to city officials, the pavement condition index on these streets had slipped to between 30 and 49 percent, so the resurfacing is needed to keep the roads from further breaking down.
In the next few weeks, residents should prepare for short-term closures of driveways and access points at Home Street and Albert Street. Contractors will give 24-hour notice before blocking any driveway. The city asks everyone to watch for signs, slow down in work zones, and plan a different way around while the paving is underway.
The overall project is expected to wrap up in late July, weather permitting.
