Provincial Trunk Highway 32 (PTH 32) is a provincial primary highway located in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from PTH 14 at Winkler to the U.S. border, where it becomes North Dakota State Highway 32. Between its northern end and its intersection with PR 243, PTH 32 follows the Boundary Commission Trail.
The speed limit is 100 km/h from Winkler to just north of the US border, and 50 km/h inside the city of Winkler and in the border/customs area.
Provincial Trunk Highway 32 was ranked the 3rd worst road in all of Manitoba in 2013.[1]
Route description
[edit]PTH 32 begins in the Rural Municipality of Stanley at the North Dakota border, with the road continuing south towards Walhalla as North Dakota Highway 32 (ND 32). It almost immediately goes through a switchback, where it has a junction with PR 521, which provides access to Rosengart. The highway crosses a creek and heads north, joining the Boundary Commission Trail at an intersection with PR 243 and traveling through Friedensfeld West, Hochfeld (where it has a short concurrency (overlap) with PR 201), and Schanzfeld. PTH 32 enters the city of Winkler, following 1st Street through neighborhoods and a major business district on the east side of downtown, crossing some railroad tracks and coming to an end shortly thereafter at a junction with PTH 14, with the road continuing north as PR 428 towards Roland. The Boundary Commission Trail follows PTH 14 west towards PTH 3.[2][3]
The entire length of Manitoba Highway 32 is a paved, two-lane highway.
