^ On that note, I was looking at the Manitoba AADT map the other day and I have to say, there really aren't that many obvious candidates for twinning. It basically comes down to a smattering of PTHs in and around Winnipeg and Steinbach (the most glaring need is McGillivray Blvd to the Perimeter), PTH 59 up to Grand Beach, PTH 15 to Dugald and then the 10 from Brandon to Minnedosa. I have to admit I was a bit surprised, but for the most part the highways in Manitoba that need to be twinned already are.

The sweet spot for highway improvements are things like surfacing, shoulder improvement, intersection improvement, passing lanes, etc. Which is pretty well where most of the attention has been focused in recent years. A few more interchanges would be helpful too, but it sounds like that's coming.
