Manitoba Provincial Road 348

Provincial Road 348 is a north-south provincial road in the Westman Region of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It provides a connection between PTH 2 just west of the hamlet of Carroll and PR 349 a few kilometers outside of the city of Brandon. It is entirely a two-lane gravel road, with no other communities or major intersections along its length as it travels through flat farmland, though it does include a bridge over a small creek.

History

Today, PR 348 is a shadow of its former self, previously stretching for from Boissevain at PTH 10 to its current northern end at PR 349, via running along the northern side of Whitewater Lake, a portion of what is now PR 448, a concurrency with PR 343 eastbound, passing through Fairfax along what is now PR 444, crossing PTH 23, crossing the Souris River at Bunclody, before joining its current alignment after a junction with PTH 2. In 1990, the portion south of PR 343 was dropped, being replaced with an extended PR 448. In 1992, the highway was further reduced to its current length.
