A long-awaited bridge project near Sea Falls is moving closer to reality.

Norway House Cree Nation says a new bridge structure will be built on Provincial Road 373 over the Nelson River East Channel.

The project has been pursued by the community for the past couple of decades and is now expected to become a reality within the next three years.

Four roadway alignment options were examined as part of the design process, with a preferred route now selected.

Representatives from Manitoba, along with project consultants, are expected to return to Norway House, with community meetings resuming in early 2027.
