Manitoba Provincial Road 466 is a very short north-south provincial road in the southwestern section of the Canadian province of Manitoba.

Route description

PR 466 is a north-south provincial road that begins at PR 465 near the unincorporated community of Cordova, and travels to its northbound terminus with the Yellowhead Highway near Franklin.[1]

PR 466 is a gravel road for its entire length.

History

In the early 1990s, the Manitoba government decommissioned a number of provincial secondary roads and returned the maintenance of these roads back to the rural municipalities. A large portion of the original PR 466 was included in this decommissioning.

Prior to this, PR 466 continued east in concurrence with the Yellowhead Highway for 1.6 kilometres (0.99 miles) to Franklin Road. From this point, it traveled north through Franklin and terminated at a junction with PR 471.[2]

In 1984, PR 466 was extended further north to the unincorporated community of Mountain Road, where it terminated at PR 357. The section of the extension between Mountain Road and PR 265 had previously been designated as PR 562, which was decommissioned and transferred to the new number.[3]

This section is now a municipal road.

The original length of PR 466 was 26 kilometres (16 miles) to PR 471, and 39 kilometres (24 miles) after its extension to PR 357.
