Manitoba Provincial Hwy 6
Provincial Trunk Highway 6 (PTH 6) is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the Thompson south city limits to the Perimeter Highway of Winnipeg. It is also the main highway connecting Winnipeg to northern Manitoba. The speed limit is 100 km/h. The route is also used to deliver nickel from the Thompson mine to the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. The portion of the highway between Ponton and Thompson was previously known as Highway 391.
There have been talks of extending PTH 6 North to Churchill and the Nunavut border. If plans to make a highway in Nunavut connecting from Churchill, and Arviat, Nunavut to Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut go through, then the first ever major road connection to Nunavut will be made.
Connections to Winnipeg
PTH 6 only runs to the Perimeter Highway near Winnipeg, so travellers travelling to Winnipeg must take the Perimeter Highway eastbound or southbound.
Travel eastbound, then take one of these exits:
Exit (60A/B)- PTH 7/Route 90/Brookside Blvd.
Exit 69A/B- PTH 8/Route 180/McPhillips St./McPhillips Rd.
Exit (72A/B)- PTH 9/Route 52/Main St.
Or travel southbound and take:
Exit (50)- PR 221/Rosser Rd.
Exit 42A/B- PTH 1/Trans-Canada Highway/Yellowhead Highway/Route 85/Portage Ave.
- Exit numbers in brackets are unsigned and are approximate kilometre points.
- Travellers from Winnipeg do the opposite, entering Perimeter Highway, then turning at PTH 6.
