Highway 49 and Provincial Trunk Highway 49 (PTH 49) is a provincial highway in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Most of the highway is in the east-central part of Saskatchewan and only a very short section is in Manitoba. It runs from Saskatchewan Highway 35 between the communities of Fosston and Hendon to the Saskatchewan — Manitoba border, before ending at Provincial Trunk Highway 83 south of the community of Benito. The combined highway is about 166.4 kilometres (103.4 mi) in length — 165.2 kilometres (102.7 mi) is in Saskatchewan and 1.2 kilometres (0.7 mi) is in Manitoba. [1]
Highway 49 begins at its western terminus with Highway 35 five kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Fosston. From Highway 35, it travels east to the Manitoba border, where it transitions to PTH 49. This is a primary Saskatchewan highway maintained by the provincial government and is paved for its length. Located along the highway are the communities of Kelvington, Nut Mountain, Okla, Lintlaw, Ketchen, Preeceville, Sturgis, Norquay, Pelly, and Arran. Just west of Preeceville, Highway 49 crosses the Assiniboine River. Less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after crossing into Manitoba, the highway terminates at PTH 83 three kilometres (1.9 mi), south of Benito.
North of Pelly on the Swan River, and accessed from a road off Highway 661, is Fort Livingstone. It is the site of the first capital for the North-West Territories from 1874 to 1876. [2]
Highway 49 provides access to the following recreational areas, roadside attractions, and historical sites and buildings:
Provincial Trunk Highway 49 is a very short provincial highway in Manitoba. It runs from the Saskatchewan border to PTH 83 three kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Benito.
The highway is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) long (the sign welcoming westbound motorists to Saskatchewan can be seen from PTH 83) and connects with the same numbered highway across the border. Along with PTH 27 and 57, PTH 49 is one of the shortest provincial trunk highways within Manitoba.
The speed limit is 90 km/h (55 mph).
Prior to 1947, PTH 49 was part of Manitoba Highway 6, which extended via Benito to Swan River, Dauphin, and Minnedosa. [12] The section from the highway's current eastern terminus to Roblin was opened to traffic in 1948 and designated as Highway 31 along with the remaining section of highway to Swan River. [13] This route was redesignated as PTH 83 in 1954. [14]
The current route between the Saskatchewan border and Highway 31 was redesignated to PTH 49 in 1947.
