Route description
PR 426 begins in the centre of St. Joseph at an intersection with PR 201, heading north through town along Morin Street. Leaving St. Joseph, the asphalt transitions to gravel as the highway travels due north through rural farmland for the next several kilometres to come to an end at an intersection with PTH 14, with the road continuing north as Road 3E. The entire length of PR 426 is a two-lane highway.History
Prior to 1992, PR 246 continued southwest from St. Jean Baptiste along Road 18N and Road 3E, crossing PTH 14 along its way to St. Joseph, where it came to an end at an intersection with PR 201. The section between PR 201 in St. Joseph and PTH 14 is now known as PR 426, being known as PR 420 between 1994 and 2008.Between 1966 and 1992, PR 426 existed as a gravel highway in the Central Plains Region, running from PTH 1 on the northern edge of Bénard to PR 430 just south of Poplar Point. It provided access to the Hutterite colonies of Huron and Polpar Point and another access to St. Eustache, while its most prominent feature was its section along River Road, where it followed the south bank of the Assiniboine River.
