Infrastructure/Transportation<br />
In October 2008, the Province of Manitoba passed the<br />
CentrePort Act creating an exciting new project called<br />
CentrePort Canada Way. Winnipeg’s geographic location in the<br />
centre of Canada provided a unique opportunity to provide<br />
a transportation hub to Central Canada and the Heartland<br />
of the United States of America. An area north west of James<br />
Armstrong Richardson International Airport was selected for<br />
development of the Inland Port. To facilitate this vision they<br />
needed to construct an Interchange on the Perimeter Highway<br />
and CentrePort Canada Way; a bridge over the existing<br />
CPR Carberry Subdivision, and a bridge over the existing<br />
Saskatchewan Avenue and CPR Glenboro Subdivisions.<br />
MIT selected the Design Build project delivery method and<br />
engaged the MMM Group to fast tract the preparation of the<br />
Design Build Documents and the Functional Planning Study<br />
for the CentrePort Canada Way Project.<br />
