Highways in Manitoba

The highway system in Manitoba consists of provincial trunk highways (PTH) and provincial roads (PR) that connect communities across the province. Manitoba Infrastructure is responsible for maintaining approximately 19,000 kilometers of provincial highways. The highway network plays a crucial role in connecting Manitoba's diverse regions, from the northern communities to the agricultural areas in the south.

Classification System

Provincial Trunk Highways are designated with numbers from 1 to 101 and represent the primary routes in Manitoba. These highways typically connect major centers and carry higher traffic volumes. Provincial Roads use numbers above 200 and generally serve rural areas, providing access to smaller communities and local destinations.

The Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) serves as Manitoba's most important east-west corridor, crossing the province from Saskatchewan to Ontario. It passes through major centers including Brandon and Winnipeg.

Major Routes

Highway 75 connects Winnipeg to the Canada-United States border at Emerson, serving as a critical trade route. Highway 10 extends from the Trans-Canada Highway northward through Riding Mountain National Park to Swan River and beyond. Highway 6 provides north-south connectivity through the Interlake region. Highway 59 serves the eastern edge of the province, while Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway) crosses the province east-west through the Parkland region.

Winter road networks supplement the permanent highway system in northern Manitoba. These seasonal routes operate when ground and ice conditions permit, typically from January to March, providing essential access to remote communities that lack year-round road connections.
