And especially for a city that is so dependent on trade, without modern roadways Winnipeg has no potential growth.

The City of Winnipeg has no need to build any intra-city freeways, since the Perimeter and intercity connections are all under provincial jurisdiction.
I would estimate it would cost about $3-4 billion to upgrade the entire core network - the entire length of 1 (except inside the Perimeter), the entire length of 75 and the Perimeter to freeway standards. Most of that would be overpasses and interchanges.
