Manitoba Provincial Road 424

Provincial Road 424 is a north-south highway in both the Central Plains and Winnipeg Metro regions of Manitoba. Almost entirely located within the Rural Municipality of Cartier, it connects Springstein and St. Eustache via Lido Plage.

Route description

PR 424 begins in the Rural Municipality of Macdonald at a junction with PTH 2 between Starbuck and Oak Bluff, heading north as a paved two-lane highway to enter the Rural Municipality of Cartier and travel through Springstein, where the asphalt transitions to gravel. Heading due north through farmland, it has an intersection with PR 427 just west of Calrin while simultaneously crossing a railway. The highway now curves westward, having an intersection with Lido Plage Road, providing access to Roblin Boulevard as it bypasses the community of Lido Plage. Curving back northward as it passes just to the north of White Plains, PR 424 has another intersection with Lido Plage Road shortly before crossing PTH 1. Now paralleling the south bank of the Assiniboine River, the highway heads northwest through rural farmland for the next several kilometres, passing the Lakeside, Barickman, Maxwell, and Rosedale Hutterite colonies before coming to an end just south of St. Eustache at an intersection with PR 248.

History

Prior to 2001, PR 424 was only, stretching from PTH 2 near Springstein to PR 241 just south of Lido Plage and just west of Beaudry Provincial Park. In 2001, PR 241 was truncated to this intersection while all of former PR 241 west to PR 248 just south of St. Eudtache was transferred to PR 424. In 2013, a bypass of Lido Plage opened, with no major changes to the highway since.
