Reconstruction of Highway #75 is moving ahead at a good pace.  That from Walter Burdz, eastern region director of Manitoba Transportation, based in Steinbach.  He says on the southbound lanes, just south of Winnipeg, crews are stripping the old asphalt, crushing the old concrete and rebuilding the shoulders.  Pouring of new concrete will begin August 1st.  As for the northbound lanes at Emerson, the project will start by the end of this 
month.  Burdz says warm, dry weather is ideal, giving the contractor unlimited access to the site day and night.
