Winnipeg’s Skywalk will expand to Convention Centre
The levels of government announced earlier today that the Winnipeg Skywalk system will expand from City Place to the Winnipeg Convention Centre. An overhead passage will be added from CityPlace Mall to 330 St. Mary and above Hargrave Street to the Delta Hotel, above the Elephant and Castle Pub.
There is already a skywalk from the Delta Hotel to the Convention Centre.
The $9 million expansion to the 2km downtown pedestrian network will be funded by a $6 million contribution from the Winnipeg Partnership Agreement; $2.4 million provided by CityPlace, the Delta Hotel, and LaSalle Investment Management (the owners of 330 St. Mary) and additional funding from the City of Winnipeg of $321,300.
Construction will begin in early 2009 and the extension should be done by early 2010.
