The City of Selkirk, Manitoba, began manhole repairs on Main Street near Selkirk Avenue on Monday, March 23, 2026. This project is expected to take about three days to complete and will cause traffic delays for motorists.

Southbound traffic on Main Street is currently reduced to one lane near the work site. Drivers cannot turn onto Selkirk Avenue from Main Street, and the northbound left-turn lane at the intersection is also closed.

Main Street is a primary north-south route through the community and is also known as Highway 9. These repairs are part of an infrastructure program that manages over $394 million in city assets, including 68 kilometres of roads.

The city is spending $3.6 million on road and underground infrastructure this year through the 2026 budget. Residents with questions can reach CitizenSupport by calling 204-785-4900 or by email.
