Manitoba Provincial Highway 9
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manitoba Provincial Highway 9 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the Winnipeg border (where it meets with Winnipeg City Route 52) north to Gimli, Manitoba.
The highway is known as Main Street between Winnipeg and Selkirk, as this is the name of the road within both of those cities. At Selkirk, the highway turns off to bypass the city. The bypass around Selkirk is known as the "Selkirk By-Pass". The road that runs through Selkirk is known as Manitoba Provincial Highway 9A (Main Street also continues as Highway 9A, and then as Highway 320 until Highway 4, where it becomes Breezy Point Road).
Originally, Highway 9 followed what is now Routes 180 and 57 through Winnipeg. Outside the Perimeter, the route followed Highways 8 and 230 to its present Selkirk By-Pass alignment. Today's Highway 9 was the past's Highway 4, and Selkirk By-Pass between Highways 230 and 9A was not signed. In the late 1980s, the routes were given their present alignment.
