Provincial Road 348 (PR 348) is a 13.1-kilometre-long (8.1 mi) north-south provincial road in the Westman Region of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It provides a connection between PTH 2 (Red Coat Trail) just west of the hamlet of Carroll and PR 349 (High Country Road) a few kilometers outside of the city of Brandon. It is entirely a two-lane gravel road, with no other communities or major intersections along its length as it travels through flat farmland, though it does include a bridge over a small creek.[1][2]
History
[edit]Today, PR 348 is a shadow of its former self, previously stretching for 72.0 kilometres (44.7 mi) from Boissevain at PTH 10 (John Bracken Highway) to its current northern end at PR 349, via running along the northern side of Whitewater Lake, a portion of what is now PR 448, a concurrency with PR 343 eastbound, passing through Fairfax along what is now PR 444, crossing PTH 23, crossing the Souris River at Bunclody, before joining its current alignment after a junction with PTH 2 (Red Coat Trail). In 1990, the portion south of PR 343 was dropped, being replaced with an extended PR 448. In 1992, the highway was further reduced to its current length.[3][4][5]
