Provincial Trunk Highway 83A (PTH 83A) is a name for a numbered highway in Manitoba, Canada serving the town of Swan River. The highway is an alternate route of PTH 83; the southern leg of the route was the original alignment of the parent highway.

Route Description

PTH 83A branches off from PTH 83 south of Swan River, becoming Centennial Drive once it enters the town limits. The highway then turns right on to Main Street southwest of the town centre and meets PTH 10A (4th Ave.) about 40 metres later (the original northbound terminus for PTH 83 was at this intersection). The two highways run in concurrence through the town centre along Main Street until they terminate at PTH 10 (Northern Woods and Water Route) and the current northbound terminus for PTH 83. On the route, the speed limit is mainly 50 km/h, and 80 km/h approaching PTH 83 on the south side. ^[1]

History

Prior to 2004, PTH 83 traveled into downtown Swan River, ending at an intersection with PTH 10A. That year, a new bypass was opened around the eastern side of town, with PTH 83 being rerouted onto the bypass while the old route became PTH 83A. ^{[2] [3]}
