The City of Dauphin, Manitoba, issued a road-closure notice on February 4, 2026, that will impact local travel and commuting for residents, especially during peak hours, the city said. The closures are being carried out for street maintenance and utility repairs; residents should plan for extra travel time and watch for posted detour signs.
The City of Dauphin Public Works Department is handling the work as part of the municipality’s 2026 capital-works and maintenance program to keep local infrastructure in good shape. This follows recent provincial announcements (Nov. 21, 2025) about planned 2026 highway and infrastructure work in northern Manitoba (Province of Manitoba, Minister Lisa Naylor).
The city did not provide an exact reopening date in the initial advisory. Historically, similar winter repairs in the region typically last 3–7 business days, though the city’s notice did not specify a timeframe for this closure. Motorists are asked to follow all posted detour signs, especially near Main Street South — which has been under phased reconstruction since 2024 — and the East Service Road, both identified as likely delay areas.
Residents can monitor local traffic updates via 730 CKDM and the City of Dauphin’s online local notices page for the latest information. Historically, February closures in Dauphin are frequently triggered by water-main repairs or emergency utility upgrades caused by deep-frost conditions; motorists should remain alert for emergency work and temporary detours.
