The City of Winnipeg is looking to implement several ideas made by a working group studying improvements in road construction, Mayor Brian Bowman said Tuesday, including more 24/7 road construction.

The road construction working group submitted its final report at the end of August, recommending better communication, more use of round-the-clock construction, and expanded use of earlier tendering.

“The working group provided a number of very thoughtful recommendations that can help us improve the manner in which we plan, schedule, and undertake road construction projects across our city,” said Bowman.
