Provincial Road 229 (PR 229) is an 81.3-kilometre-long (50.5 mi) east–west highway in the Interlake Region of Manitoba, connecting the communities of Lundar and Oak Point with Inwood, Komarno, and Winnipeg Beach. It also provides road access to Lake Manitoba, Lake Winnipeg, and the Shoal Lakes.[1]
Route description
PR 229 begins in the Rural Municipality of Coldwell at an intersection with PTH 6 (Northern Woods and Water Route) in the tiny community of Clarkleigh, roughly halfway between Lundar and Oak Point, as well as only 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from the eastern coastline of Lake Manitoba. It heads east as a gravel road through rural countryside for several before winding its way southeast, temporarily entering the Rural Municipality of St. Laurent to cross over North Shoal Lake along a causeway before entering the Rural Municipality of Armstrong.
The highway joins PTH 17 in a concurrency, now becoming paved as the two head south to enter Inwood, making a sharp turn to the east at a junction with PR 416 to head straight through the centre of town. Leaving Inwood, PR 229 separates just 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of Norris Lake Provincial Park and heads due east for several kilometres along the boundary between the Rural Municipality of Armstrong and the Rural Municipality of Rockwood to travel through Komarno and have a junction with PTH 7. Now following the Rural Municipality of Gimli / Rural Municipality of St. Andrews boundary, PR 229 has an intersection with PTH 8 (Veterans Memorial Highway) before entering the town limits of Winnipeg Beach, where it comes to an end at an intersection with PTH 9 (Gimli Road) in a neighbourhood on the northern end of town, just blocks from Winnipeg Beach Provincial Park and the western shores of Lake Winnipeg. The entire length of PR 229 is a two-lane highway.[2][3]
