Manitoba Provincial Highway 8

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manitoba Provincial Highway 8 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the Winnipeg border (where it meets with Winnipeg City Route 180/McPhillips Street) north to Hecla-Grindstone Provincial Park.

The highway between the Winnipeg border and Highway 230 is known as McPhillips Rd. At highway 230, McPhillips Rd. continues as Highway 230 until Highway 9, Selkirk By-pass.

Highways 8 and 230 were formerly Highway 9, and most of Highway 9 was formerly Highway 4. Originally, all Highway 8 had was a route between Hecla Island and Highway 9, and Highway 9 was just a road from Gimli to Selkirk. In the late-1980s, that was fixed as the highways were renumbered to their present status.

The route is a major road connecting Winnipeg with the communities of Gimli and Winnipeg Beach. The speed limit is 100 km/h (60 mph).
