Provincial Trunk Highway 12 (PTH 12) is a provincial primary highway located in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Lying entirely in the Eastman Region, it runs from the U.S. border (where it meets with Minnesota State Highway 313) to a dead end in Grand Beach. PTH 12 forms the Manitoba section of MOM's Way, a tourist route from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg.^[1] PTH 12 is primarily a two-lane highway except for two four-lane stretch between Steinbach and PTH 1 (22 kilometres) and a ten-kilometre concurrency with PTH 44.

Route Description

PTH 12 begins in the southeast corner of the province in the

Buffalo Point, before curving to the west as a two-lane highway to pass through Middlebro. Between the U.S. border and Buffalo Point Road, the highway lies less than 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the shores of Lake of the Woods. The road heads nearly due west for the next several kilometers, traveling through wooded areas while having an intersection with PR 308 in Sprague (which provides access to the Northwest Angle), and PR 310 in South Junction (which provides access to Roseau, MN), before having intersections with access roads leading to Vassar. PTH 12 transitions into farmland as travels along the north side of Piney, where it junctions with PTH 89, PR 201, and PR 203 at a single intersection. The highway enters woodlands again to have an intersection with PR 210 near Menisino before curving northwest to cross into the Rural Municipality of Stuartburn

.

PTH 12 has a junction with Road 53 east, which leads to

Zhoda, junctioning with PR 302 and re-entering farmland, and has an intersection with PR 403 before entering the Rural Municipality of Hanover

.

PTH 12 curves due northward to have an intersection with PR 205 near Sarto, as well an intersection with PR 303 near Friedensfeld, before entering the city of Steinbach as it passes by the Steinbach (South) Airport. The road widens to a four lane divided highway as it passes through neighborhoods and the western end of downtown as Brandt Street, where it has a junction with PTH 52 (Main Street) in the middle of an S-curve. PTH 12 continues north through a business district, passing by Steinbach Airport, before leaving Steinbach and returning to the Rural Municipality of Hanover. The highway has a short concurrency (overlap) with PR 311 in Blumenort, which it bypasses along its eastern side, before crossing into the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne.

PTH 12 has a junction with

Rosewood, before crossing into the Rural Municipality of Springfield

.

Between the Minnesota border and the Trans-Canada Highway, PTH 12 forms the Manitoba portion of MOM's Way.

PTH 12 travels through the center of the town of

Ladywood and Dencross, where it junctions with PR 317

.

PTH 12 crosses into the Rural Municipality of St. Clements shortly before crossing the Brokenhead River, traveling through Thalberg before becoming concurrent with PTH 59 in Gull Lake (after passing by the Lake of the same name). They head north along the border with the Rural Municipality of Alexander, having intersections with PR 304 and PR 500 in Beaconia, before returning to the Rural Municipality of St. Clements as PTH 12 splits off and heads east. PTH 12 has another intersection with PR 500 before traveling through the town of Grand Marais, where it comes to a dead end in Grand Beach Provincial Park, along the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg.^[2]^[3]

History

PTH 12 was originally designated in 1928 and followed the

Anola. A spur, Manitoba Highway 12V, was created from PTH 12 to Victoria Beach from the part of PTH 22 that was not replaced by PTH 12. Another spur, Manitoba Highway 12G, was created from PTH 12 to Grand Beach as a renumbering of PTH 22A. In 1960, PTH 12 was extended southeast to the Minnesota border. In 1966, the section of PTH 12 from PTH 12V to Pine Falls became part of PTH 11, and the section of PTH 12 from PTH 12G to PTH 12V, along with PTH 12V itself, became part of PTH 59. At the same time, PTH 12 was rerouted over PTH 12G.^{[citation needed}
