Manitoba Provincial Road 453

Provincial Road 453 is a east–west highway in the Westman Region of Manitoba. It provides the primary road access to the hamlet of Rounthwaite, as well as to the south side of the Brandon Hills Wildlife Management Area.

Route description

PR 453 begins several kilometres to the south of Brandon at a junction with PTH 10, heading east along Road 47N on the south side of the Brandon Hills Wildlife Management Area for a few kilometres before making an abrupt right turn onto Road 107W. After crossing a marshland and a small creek, it makes a left turn onto Road 46N, following it through rural farmland. The highway now makes an abrupt right onto Road 104W, then quickly a left onto Road 45N, to pass along the south side of Rounthwaite, connected via Hendry Avenue. After passing through more rural farmland, PR 453 comes to an end at an intersection with PR 340. The entire length of PR 453 is a gravel, two lane highway, wholly within the Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa.

History

Prior to 1992, PR 453 only extended from PTH 10 to what was then PR 344. When that section of PR 344 was decommissioned, PR 453 was extended over the former's routing through Rountwaite to its current terminus at what is now PR 340.
