The Ministry of Transportation is responsible for providing a safe and efficient transportation system. As part of the Trans-Canada Highway System, Highway 17 is the only Canadian highway link connecting Ontario to Manitoba.

The study is being carried out to identify and protect a preferred corridor for a four-lane divided highway. The study is comprised of the following three sections:

Section #1: Between the Manitoba / Ontario Border and Gundy Lake Road
Section #2: Between Gundy Lake Road and Rush Bay Road
Section #3: Between Rush Bay Road and Kenora
The study will follow the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Provincial Transportation Facilities process for Group ‘B’ projects. Transportation Environmental Study Reports (TESRs) will be prepared separately for each section. Notices will be published when each TESR is completed to explain the public review process and identify the locations where the TESR is available for viewing.

Project updates will be posted over the course of the study. Please check this page regularly for project status updates, dates and locations of Public Information Centres, and Notices of Transportation Environmental Study Report Submission.
