Route 96 is a city route in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The route commences at Portage Avenue (Route 85) and ends at Wilkes Avenue (Route 145). [2]
Route 96 begins as Moray Street at Portage Avenue and heads south, becoming the William R. Clement Parkway as it reaches the bridge over the Assiniboine River. The Parkway ends at Grant Avenue (Route 105), at which point Route 96 turns east and runs concurrently with Route 105 through the Assiniboine Forest. It turns south again at the Canadian Mennonite University campus and follows Shaftesbury Boulevard to its end at Wilkes Avenue.
The Moray Street south extension and Charleswood Bridge, the original part of Route 96, were built in 1995. The William R.
