Manitoba Provincial Highway 6

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manitoba Provincial Highway 6 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the Thompson south city limits to the Perimeter Highway near Winnipeg. The main purpose of this route is to deliver nickel from the Thompson mine to the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. It is also the main highway connecting Winnipeg to northern Manitoba.

There have been talks of extending Highway 6 North to Churchill and the Nunavut border. If plans to make a highway in Nunavut connecting from Churchill, and Arviat, Nunavut to Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut go through, then the first ever major connection to Nunavut will be made.
