Permits for Access, Signs, Structures and Development

A permit is required from the Minister of Infrastructure for development adjacent to provincial highways. Provincial highways include provincial trunk highways, provincial roads and provincial access roads.

As of March 1, 2019, the authority to issue permits for development including accesses, structures, signage and trails adjacent to provincial highways is delegated to the Highway Design Branch of Manitoba Infrastructure, as stipulated under The Transportation Infrastructure Act.

Before applying for a permit, Manitoba Infrastructure strongly encourages you to read the following:

Permit application fees are regulated under the Transportation Infrastructure (General) Regulation.

Processing time for a Permit is approximately 4-8 weeks.
Processing time for a Property Inquiry is approximately 3-6 weeks.
