Provincial Trunk Highway 15 (PTH 15) is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from Winnipeg's Perimeter Highway (where it meets with the city's Route 115) east to Elma where it ends at PTH 11. PTH 15 and the portion of Route 115 east of PTH 59 are collectively known as Dugald Road.

Contents

On the trip between Winnipeg and Elma, several significant landmarks exist, as well as the towns of Dugald and Anola. Also along that stretch of picturesque highway lies the longitudinal Centre of Canada, which is marked on PTH 1 several kilometres south.

Route description

PTH 15 begins on the eastern side of the city of Winnipeg at an intersection with PTH 101 (Perimeter Highway), with the road continuing westward into the city as Winnipeg Route 115 (Dugald Road). The highway heads west to immediately cross a bridge over the Red River Floodway to enter the Rural Municipality of Springfield, as a 2-lane divided highway, meeting a junction with PR 207 (Deacon Road). PTH 15 becomes undivided and heads due east through farmland to travel straight through the center of Dugald, where it has an intersection with PR 206 and crosses a railroad. The road crosses Edie Creek and travels through Anola, where it has an intersection with PTH 12, Vivian, where it has a short concurrency (overlap) with PR 302, and Nourse, where it crosses the Brokenhead River into the Rural Municipality of Reynolds.

PTH 15 now begins traveling through woodlands for the next several kilometers as it passes through the communities of Ste. Rita and Contour before entering the Rural Municipality of Whitemouth. The highway passes through Lewis and Stony Hill as it re-enters farmland as well as the town of Elma. PTH 15 has an intersection with PR 406 before traveling straight through the center of town, coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 11 along the banks of the Whitemouth River. [1] [2]

Throughout its length, PTH 15 runs parallel to, and even crosses in Dugald, a Canadian National Railway line.

History

PTH 15 was originally designated as a road from PTH 12 south to Steinbach then east, southeast and south via Piney to the Minnesota border. [3] This was eliminated in 1939 as a result of the elimination of Municipal Roads. It is now PTH 12, PTH 52, PR 210, PR 203, and Highway 89.

PTH 15 formerly extended into the present-day city of Winnipeg. Prior to 1966, PTH 15 followed Dugald Road through Transcona to PTH 59 (Lagimodiere Boulevard) in St. Boniface; [4] both were amalgamated into Winnipeg in 1971. When the Winnipeg Metro Routes were established in c.1966, the section of PTH 15 inside the Perimeter Highway became Winnipeg Route 115. [5]
