The newly twinned lanes of highway #59 at Ile Des Chenes are on schedule to be opened in late fall.  Walter Burdz is the eastern region director of Manitoba Transportation, based in Steinbach.  He says grading work is largely completed and paving is underway.  However, it will probably be late October before the bridges over the Seine River diversion are completed and the new lanes won't open until then.  Meantime, Burdz tells us the sealcoat work on highways #12 and #59 has been completed and most other projects in this region are at or ahead of schedule due to the warm, dry weather.
