The City of Winnipeg is one step closer to widening Kenaston Avenue.
Upgrading the road, known for its slow speeds and badly damaged sections, and widening it to three lanes has been a bone of contention in Winnipeg.
A preliminary report obtained by Global News on Tuesday calls for $586.1 million in upgrades to Kenaston between Taylor and Ness Avenues.
If the city tackles the project alone through debt, it would incur an additional $150.6 million in construction-period interest.

The report, which will be submitted to the city's public works department, also discusses building a new bridge over the Assiniboine River and constructing sewer and water facilities on the site of the former Gapyeong Barracks to serve the Naawi-Oodena development.
