Provincial Road 227 (PR 227) is a provincial road in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs south of Lake Manitoba from the Yellowhead Highway (PTH 16) to PTH 6. [1] [2]

Contents

PR 227 is a well-travelled gravel road, used to access the many cottages located near Lake Manitoba and sometimes as a shorter alternative to the Trans-Canada Highway by those travelling between the Yellowhead and south Interlake region. High water levels on Lake Manitoba in recent years have made certain portions of the road prone to flooding. [3] On 30 August 2022, the Manitoba government announced it is "committing almost $70 million for upgrades to Provincial Road (PR) 227". [4]

The Yellowhead Highway is a major interprovincial highway in Western Canada that runs from Winnipeg to Graham Island off the coast of British Columbia via Saskatoon and Edmonton. It stretches across the four western Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba and is part of the Trans-Canada Highway system and the larger National Highway System, but should not be confused with the more southerly, originally-designated Trans-Canada Highway. The highway was officially opened in 1970. Beginning in 1990, the green and white Trans-Canada logo is used to designate the roadway.
