Our provincial department of infrastructure and transportation is confident in the reliability of bridges across Manitoba.
 

Assistant Deputy Minister Lance Vigfusson is reacting to the bridge collapse in Quebec Saturday that left 5 people dead.  He believes many of Manitoba's bridges are just as old as the one in Quebec.  Vigfusson adds, regular inspections are done across the province.  He notes the system has been successful in catching flaws before they become harmful.
