Route description

PTH 22 begins roughly 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) east of Elgin in the Rural Municipality of Grassland at a junction with PTH 23, with the road continuing south a short distance to Whitewater Recreation Park. The highway heads north through rural farmland for a few kilometers to pass through a switchback, where it has an intersection with PR 347 and crosses into the Rural Municipality of Souris - Glenwood. It winds its way north for a few more kilometers to enter the town of Souris, passing through neighborhoods as it crosses the Souris River just 0.2 kilometres (0.12 mi) south of the Souris Swinging Bridge. Several side streets connect the swinging bridge to the highway. PTH 22 continues up First Street S through the center of downtown, coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 2 (First Avenue / Red Coat Trail) and PR 250 (First Street N). [2] [3]

The entire length of Manitoba Highway 22 is a paved, two-lane highway.

History

Originally, Highway 22 was the designation of the route connecting the US border south of Melita to Highway 2 in Pipestone. In 1947, it extended north to Highway 1 in Virden. In 1953, the government re-designated the highway as PTH 83 in order to match U.S. Route 83. [4]

After the original Highway 22 was redesignated as PTH 83, it was moved to a route connecting Highway 1 near Beausejour to Grand Beach, which is now PTH 12 and PTH 59, between 1953 and 1955. [5] The highway was extended to Victoria Beach along what is now PTH 59 in 1956. After the highway was extended, a small stretch of Highway 22 to Grand Beach was redesignated as Highway 22A. [6] The route kept this designation until 1959, when PTH 12 was extended north, replacing Highway 22. As well, the former section of Highway 22A was redesignated as Highway 12G. A small section of the former Highway 22 south of Victoria Beach was redesignated as Highway 12V as Highway 12 turned east to meet Highway 11 at Pine Falls. [7]

PTH 22 was designated to its current route in 1960. [8]
