Transportation

Winnipeg is the largest and best-connected city in Manitoba and has highways that lead in all directions from the city. To the south, Winnipeg connects to the United States via the Provincial Highway Trunk 75 (PTH 75) (continuation of I-29 and US 75, known as the Pembina Highway or Route 42 inside Winnipeg). The 107-kilometer (66-mile) highway runs from Emerson to Manitoba and is the busiest Canadian-US border crossing in Prairie. The surrounding four-lane highway, built in 1969, acts as a ring road with level crossings and multiple intersections.

This allows trans-Canadian highway passengers to bypass the city. The Trans-Canada Highway runs east-west through the city (city route), or around the city on the peripheral highway (belt). Some of the city's main arterial roads are Route 80 (Waverley Street), Route 155 (McGilluray Crystal), Route 165 (Grand Bishop Crystal), Route 17 (Peguis Main Route), and Route 90 (Broxide Crystal, Oak Point).
