# Manitoba Highway 59

Provincial Trunk Highway 59 (PTH 59) is a major provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the Lancaster-Tolstoi Border Crossing (where it meets with U.S. Highway 59), through the city of Winnipeg, north to 8th Avenue in Victoria Beach on Lake Winnipeg.

## Route description

PTH 59 is a four-lane at-grade expressway from Provincial Road 210 south of Île-des-Chênes, through Winnipeg, to the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, except for a two-kilometre section of six-lane road between the North Perimeter Highway (PTH 101) and Provincial Road 202. The remainder of PTH 59 is a two-lane highway except within the communities of St. Pierre-Jolys and St. Malo.
PTH 59 coincides with City Route 20 (Lagimodière Boulevard) as it runs through the eastern part of Winnipeg. North of the city, PTH 59 is the main route to Grand Beach and the eastern side of Lake Winnipeg and part of the La Vérendrye Trail. To the south, PTH 59 is effectively the modern-day successor to the original Crow Wing Trail as one of two main roads between Winnipeg and the United States border, serving as an alternative to PTH 75. PTH 59 is also a main route on both sides of Winnipeg for rural Manitobans commuting to work in the city.

### Provincial Road 508

Provincial Road 508 (PR 508), known as St. Peters Road for the majority of its length, is a 12.9-kilometre-long (8.0 mi) north–south spur of PTH 59 in the Rural Municipality of St. Clements, providing access to the town of East Selkirk and St. Peter Dynevor Church Provincial Historic Site. The highway also runs along a portion of the La Vérendrye Trail for its entire length.
PR 508 begins at the centre of East Selkirk at an intersection with PR 212 (Colville Road) along the banks of Cooks Creek, with the La Vérendrye Trail continuing west along PR 212 northbound. It heads north along St. Peters Road to travel through neighbourhoods for a few kilometres before leaving East Selkirk and crossing Dubas Creek. As it passes by the St. Peter Dynevor Church Provincial Historic Site, the highest begins following the east bank of the Red River, crossing PTH 4 before travelling through rural areas. Now turning away from the river via a sudden right turn onto Road 82N, travelling along the north side of Peguis 1H reserve of the Peguis First Nation for a few kilometres before coming to an end at a junction with PTH 59. La Vérendrye Trail continues east along PTH 59 northbound. The entire length of PR 508 is a paved, two-lane highway.
