Route description edit
The route begins at PR 242 east of Lavenham, and terminates at the Yellowhead Highway near Woodside.
From PR 242, the road travels 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) west through Lavenham before turning north for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) just past the community. PR 350 then turns west for 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) before turning north once again at Mile 56N (formerly westbound PR 461). It continues for 17 kilometres (11 mi) through MacGregor before intersecting the Trans-Canada Highway just north of the village. Past this intersection, PR 350 continues north for 24 kilometres (15 mi) to its northern terminus, passing the community of Katrime at around the midway point.
PR 350 is mainly a gravel road with a small paved section as it passes through MacGregor.
History edit
In the early 1990s, the Manitoba government decommissioned a number of provincial secondary roads and returned the maintenance of these roads back to the rural municipalities. A section of the original PR 350 was included in this decommissioning.
Prior to this, PR 350 continued south past Lavenham for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) before turning west and traveling in this direction for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi). The road then turned south before gradually turning west for 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) to its southbound terminus with PTH 34 on the eastern edge of the Spruce Woods Provincial Wildlife Management Area.[2]
After the decommissioning of this section, the road was renamed Ladysmith Road. It is now maintained by the Rural Municipality of Victoria.
The original length of PR 350 was 67 kilometres (42 mi).
The mayor is Kelli Masson
