Highway 10A Highway system ← PTH 10 PTH 11 → Provincial Trunk Highway 10A (PTH 10A) is a name for four numbered highways in Manitoba, Canada. The highways are alternate routes of PTH 10, and in most cases, was the original alignment of the parent highway. The four sections are located in Flin Flon, Swan River, Ethelbert, and Dauphin.
Contents
Flin Flon Section
The section in Flin Flon follows the original alignment of PTH 10. The current alignment of PTH 10 bypasses around Flin Flon and into the downtown area. Starting at PTH 10, it follows 3rd Ave. E. through most of Flin Flon until turning right on Callinan Ln. and left on 1st Ave. until it reaches PTH 10 again, about 600m from where PTH 10 meets the Saskatchewan boundary. The speed limit on the route is 50 km/h.
Swan River Section
The section in Swan River is an important route providing connections to PR 275 and PTH 83. It branches off from PTH 10 north of Swan River. Once within Swan River it becomes 4th Ave. N. Just a few metres from entering Swan River, the highway intersects PR 275. Then the highway meets PTH 83A/Main St. and turns left. The two highways overlap until they meet PTH 10 and end. On the route, the speed limit is mainly 50 km/h, and 80 km/h approaching PTH 10 on the north side.
Ethelbert Section
The section in Ethelbert goes through the town, while PTH 10 bypasses it. It branches off PTH 10 just west of Ethelbert and becomes Main St once inside the town. Then it turns right and becomes Second Ave. About a mile out of town it merges with PTH 10 again. The highway also intersects PR 274 (where it branches off PTH 10), and PR 269 (where it turns right).
Dauphin section
Highway 5A/10A Location: Dauphin The fourth and last section is located in Dauphin. It starts at PTH 5 and PTH 10 west of the city and from there overlaps PTH 5A. In fact, it is actually a concurrent highway for the entire route, Highways 5A and 10A. At the city limits, the road becomes Buchanon Ave. Then it intersects with PR 362/Keays St. At the intersection, it becomes 2nd Ave. NW. Then, it intersects with PTH 20A/Main St. N. and turns right. and yet another highway comes in the concurrency, at least for about 20m. Then the road becomes Main St. S. as PTH 20A leaves Main St. N. and turns left. The two highways follow Main St. S. until it meets PTH 5 and PTH 10 at the south end of the city, where it ends.
