CBC: Other intersections see more collisions, traffic than Carberry bus crash site slated for $100M overpass

The Manitoba government is being praised by many for announcing a $100-million overpass at an intersection where 17 bus passengers were killed in a 2023 collision, even though initial assessments said traffic volumes didn’t justify it and other intersections in the province have seen more collisions. Dr. Christopher Adams, adjunct professor of political science at the University of Manitoba, said the decision to change course from an earlier plan and put in an overpass won’t jeopardize safety, but does seem like “a political decision by a premier who feels for those communities that were affected.”
