Gravel road maintenance is now underway across the Rural Municipality of Gimli, Manitoba, for the 2026 season. The municipality posted a notice on June 3, 2026, alerting residents who use gravel roads to stay informed about ongoing work in their area.
The work is being carried out by the RM of Gimli Public Works Department, which handles road and public space upkeep, snow clearing, drainage, and culvert services. Residents can call the department at (204) 642-6688 during office hours, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For after-hours emergencies, the number is (204) 641-4667.
The RM of Gimli Council, led by Mayor Kevin Chudd, oversees these municipal services. While the current road work is routine, it follows a period of significant infrastructure investment in the area. In December 2025, the RM received a $1 million provincial grant for the renewal of Centennial Road and Autumnwood Drive. The Manitoba government is also spending $18.3 million on safety improvements to Highway 8 near Gimli, with four sets of passing lanes expected to be finished in fall 2026.
The gravel road maintenance notice encourages residents who use these roads to stay aware of work crews and any temporary changes in their area. No specific roads were named in the notice, but the work is taking place across the municipality, which is about 75 kilometres north of Winnipeg on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg.
