Provincial Road 243 (PR 243) is an east-west provincial road in the Pembina Valley Region of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from PTH 75 near Emerson to PTH 32 near Friedensfeld West. Along the route, it passes north of Gretna using a small concurrence with PTH 30.
PR 243 is one of the southernmost east-west highways in the province, and travels in very close proximity to the Canada - US border. During the entire route, the highway travels no more than 6 kilometres (4 mi) from the international boundary. Together with portions of PTH 3 and PTH 32, PR 243 forms the Boundary Commission Trail heading west from Emerson to the Saskatchewan border.
PR 243 is paved between Gretna and its western terminus. The road is gravel between Gretna and Emerson.
PR 243 begins in the Rural Municipality of Stanley at an intersection with PTH 32 just south of the hamlet of Friedensfeld West, with the road continuing west towards Blumenfeld as Road 3N. It heads due east as a paved two-lane highway to travel through the community of Reinland, where it makes a couple of sharp turns, meets PR 521 on the border with Rosengart, and enters the Municipality of Rhineland.
PR 243 travels past the hamlets of Schoenwiese, Rosetown (where it has a junction with PR 306), Kronsthal, and Neuhorst on its way to meet its spur route, PR 524, which connects the highway to the hamlet of Blumenort South. The highway now has a short concurrency (overlap) with PTH 30 on the northern edge of Gretna, where it turns to gravel, before traveling past the hamlets of Edenburg and Halbstadt just prior to passing through a short section of the Rural Municipality of Montcalm.
PR 243 enters the Municipality of Emerson - Franklin and comes to an end at an intersection between PTH 75 (Lord Selkirk Highway) and PR 200 (King Street), just within the town limits of Emerson. The entire length of Provincial Road 243 is a two-lane highway and corresponds to the easternmost section of the Boundary Commission Trail, with the trail continuing west along PTH 32 north towards Winkler.
