Manitoba Provincial Road 200
Provincial Road 200 (PR 200) is a provincial road in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the Winnipeg city limits to the border town of Emerson, joining Manitoba Highway 75 in Emerson at the United States border.
Route description
Provincial Road 200 begins as a continuation of Winnipeg Route 52 immediately south of the Perimeter Highway in Winnipeg. It continues to be known as St. Mary's Road (French: Chemin St. Mary's or, rarely, Chemin Ste. Marie) as it runs southward parallel to the flood plain of the meandering Red River. It passes through the community of St. Adolphe and passes by Ste. Agathe before leaving the Red River to run directly south through a heavily agricultural area to the town of Emerson, meeting Highway 75 within ten feet of the US/Canada border.
The northern section of Provincial Road 200 was originally one of the Red River Trails connecting the francophone settlements along the eastern shore of the Red River with St. Boniface, the centre of Manitoba's French community. Sections of Provincial Road 200 are paved, but much of the road is still gravel. The Red River Trail south of Ste. Agathe is continued by Provincial Road 245.
