Winnipeg Route 62

Route 62 is a major north-south arterial route in Winnipeg, Manitoba that has eight different street names.

The official route begins on Salter Street in the city's North End; its northernmost point is often given on maps as the intersection of Salter Street and Redwood Avenue. [Citation

It remains as Osborne Street as it passes by the Manitoba Legislative Building, over the Assiniboine River at the Osborne Bridge, and through the suburb of Fort Rouge. The route's name changes to Dunkirk Drive when it enters the suburb of St. Vital at the St. Vital Bridge over the Red River, and again to Dakota Street when it crosses St. Mary's Avenue just north of St. Vital Centre. The route ends at the intersection of Dakota Street and Aldgate Road in the Dakota Crossing neighbourhood of south St. Vital.

Route 62 is a major arterial route serving both the North End and St. Vital, and forms the westernmost boundary of the downtown core. Osborne Street between the Assiniboine and Red Rivers is a major shopping district, especially in the area of the street's intersection with Corydon Avenue.
