Route description
PTH 59 is a four-lane at-grade expressway from Provincial Road 210 south of Île-des-Chênes, through Winnipeg, to the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation. The remainder of PTH 59 is a two-lane highway except within the village of St. Pierre-Jolys.
PTH 59 coincides with City Route 20 (Lagimodière Boulevard) as it runs through the eastern part of the Winnipeg. North of the city, PTH 59 is the main route to Grand Beach and the eastern side of Lake Winnipeg. To the south, PTH 59 is effectively the modern-day successor to the original Crow Wing Trail as one of two main roads between Winnipeg and the United States border, serving as an alternative to PTH 75. PTH 59 is also a main route on both sides of Winnipeg for rural Manitobans commuting to work in the city.
Route twinning
Proposals exist to twin the route southward to PTH 52 to maintain the needs of those traveling to and from Steinbach, as well as south from St. Pierre and down to the U.S. border.
