Transportation Minister Steve Ashton said the projects build on other infrastructure upgrades.
The result will be top access to North American trade routes for wholesalers, manufacturers, contractors and farmers, he said.
Work is expected to begin in the summer.
Another $110-million in projects to improve the highway from Winnipeg east to the Ontario boundary were announced late last year.
