Carberry residents may still get their wish of having an overpass at the intersection of highways 1 and 5 near the community.
This past week, the provincial government said it was scrapping a proposed R-Cut option for the intersection, which would have prevented vehicles travelling southbound on Highway 5 from directly turning left onto Highway 1 or continuing south on Highway 5.
That decision was made after area residents showed heavy opposition to the plan, including a petition signed by 2,100 people.
Now, Premier Wab Kinews says they are going to step back and consider all possibilities, including an overpass to improve safety at the intersection.
In June of 2023, it was the scene of a deadly crash between a bus and a semi that killed 17 Dauphin area seniors while injuring eight others.
