The worst road in Winnipeg was given to Chevrier Boulevard in the Fort Garry area (ranked fourth worst road in the province). Three other roads in Winnipeg made the top 10 list: Empress Street, Pembina Highway and Fermor Avenue.
CAA introduced a most improved road category this year. Winnipeg’s St. James Street and the Trans-Canada Highway earned recognition for the repairs they have undergone in recent years.
