Route 145 is an arterial road in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. [2]

Heading west from Winnipeg, it continues as Provincial Road 427 into the Rural Municipality of Headingley. Wilkes Avenue runs parallel to the main Canadian National Railway line. [2]
Route 145 previously followed Wilkes Avenue in its entirety; however, a segment of Wilkes near Kenaston Boulevard (Route 90) was demolished as part of the Kenaston Underpass project in 2005. The Sterling Lyon Parkway was constructed in its place and now makes up the route between Victor Lewis Drive and Shaftesbury Boulevard (Route 96). [3]
