Manitoba Provincial Highway Right-of-Way (3-MB-c)

Information current as of 2022
In Manitoba, a developer may need a Highway Right-of-Way Permit (Permit) from the Manitoba Department of Infrastructure for any project on or across a departmental road, or in a controlled area. C.C.S.M. c. T147, s. 28(1). A "departmental road" is defined as: A provincial truck highway, or provincial road, or a highway in unorganized territory. A “departmental road” is not:
  • A parking lot, road, or driveway on grounds appurtenant to a public work as defined in the Public Works Act;
  • A highway for which the cost of construction or maintenance is paid of the Consolidated Fund with money appropriated for the purposes of another Act;
  • A highway built and maintained at the expense of the Government of Canada; or
  • A highway built and maintained on private land by the owner or occupier of that land. C.C.S.M. c. T147, s. 28(1).

The following areas adjacent to a departmental road are controlled areas:

  • A departmental road other than a limited-access highway or a freeway, the area on each side of the highway that is within 38.1m of the outer edge of the road allowance, but only if the highway is located outside of the city of Winnipeg and an urban municipality established or continued under the municipal act, including a city with a special charter;
  • The area on each side of the highway that is within 38.1m of the outer edge of the road allowance of a limited-access highway or freeway;
  • Any additional area established as a controlled area under the regulations. C.C.S.M. c. T147, s. 28(1).


The Manitoba Department of Infrastructure regulates departmental roads pursuant to the C.C.S.M. c. T147, s. 28(1) and the Manitoba – Transportation Infrastructure General Regulation, Man. Reg. 15/19.
