Route description

PTH 13 begins in the town of Carman at an intersection between PTH 3 and PR 245 (Main Street S / 4 Avenue (SW/SE)), with PTH 13 heading north as a 4-lane divided boulevard, Main Street S, into downtown Carman. The highway heads straight through the center of downtown, crossing the Boyne River along a 2-lane bridge before temporarily widening back out to a 4-lane heading through a neighborhood as Main Street N. The road narrows to 2-lanes for the final time at a railroad crossing and passes through a business district before leaving Carman and entering the Rural Municipality of Dufferin.

PTH 13 heads due north, crossing the Norquay Channel and having an intersection with PR 305 in Barnsley before entering the Rural Municipality of Grey. The highway travels along the western side of Elm Creek, where it has a junction with PTH 2 (Red Coat Trail), before continuing through rural farmland for the next several kilometers into the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie.

The highway crosses a couple of small creeks several times before passing through the town of Oakville, where it has a railroad crossing and a junction with PR 331. Shortly thereafter, PTH 13 comes to an end at an intersection with PTH 1 (Trans-Canada Highway / Yellowhead Highway), with the roadway continuing on towards St. Ambroise, St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park, and Lake Manitoba as PR 430.

History

The original PTH 13 went from the PTH 14 Junction in Emerson southeast to the Minnesota border. This was eliminated in 1942. PTH 13 first appeared on the 1947-48 Manitoba Highway Map. [6] Originally, it served as a short connector route spanning 20 kilometres (12 mi) between its current southern terminus with PTH 3 in Carman and PTH 2 near Elm Creek.

PTH 13 was extended further north and east in 1957 to meet PTH 1 near St. Francois Xavier. [7] The following year, the highway was shortened to its current northern terminus north of Oakville when PTH 1 was reconfigured to its current route. [8]

On September 12, 2007, the Manitoba government entered to cost share safety improvements at a railway crossing at Highway 13 near Oakville to provide an automated advance warning system.. [9]
