Construction on the Riverside Road 2E Bridge south of Road 27 is starting on March 25, 2026, which will reduce traffic to a single lane in the Rural Municipality of Morris, Manitoba. This project will affect residents and commuters who use the route to travel between the communities of Rosenort and Riverside.
According to the Rural Municipality of Morris, drivers should plan for delays and factor in extra travel time when passing through the construction zone. The bridge work is part of ongoing efforts to improve Road 2E, which has a history of requiring frequent repairs.
In 2019, the municipality raised this section of the road by an average of two feet to ensure it stays open during flood season. This was done because high water in 2009 cut off access to the area and forced residents to leave their homes.
The local council has previously used experimental products from Cypher Environmental to help make the road surface harder and more durable. Reeve Scott Siemens and the municipal staff continue to prioritize these road improvements despite the rising costs of construction materials and borrowing money.
