Manitoba Provincial Highway 75

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manitoba Provincial Highway 75 (also officially known as the Lord Selkirk Highway) is a main route from Winnipeg, Manitoba to the U.S. border, where it connects with U.S. Route 75 near the community of Emerson, Manitoba. The highway is about 95 km (60 mi) long, and is used as a main route for those travelling between Winnipeg and the United States. The speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph). Highway 75 consisted of two lanes south of Morris until approximately 1992 when a four-lane divided highway was built to the United States border.

Highway 75 begins at the Emerson-Noyes border crossing on the east side of the Red River, passes Emerson, then crosses the river to the west and meets with Highway 29 at Emerson Junction less than 1 km north of the U.S. border. All U.S.-bound traffic joins Highway 29 at this point to follow it to Interstate 29. This is because although Highway 75 itself continues to the border as well to meet the older US 75, the entry to Canada from US Highway 75 was closed in 2005 to consolidate resources and the American port of entry followed suit one year later.

The entire route is a 4-lane divided highway, but access is not fully controlled. Proposals do exist to upgrade the highway to an expressway or freeway standard with bypasses at Morris and St. Norbert.
