• Rural routes claimed nine of the top ten spots for the first time in the campaign’s 14-year history, leaving Saskatchewan Avenue as the lone urban entry.
• Drivers cited pervasive potholes, crumbling pavement, poor signage and unpaved segments as the main reasons for PTH 34’s top ranking.
• The initiative drew 723 nominations from 86 municipalities, marking a nearly 50% increase in public participation compared to 2024.
• Manitoba has committed $5.25 billion over five years for highway work, yet 39% of respondents reported that past repairs have not endured.
