The highway heads east, along with the Red Coat Trail, to pass along the northern edge of Sinclair, where it shares a 4-kilometre-long (2.5 mi) concurrency (overlap) with PR 256, before making a sharp curve to the south, then another to the east as it passes through Linklater.

It now passes through the town of Reston and the community of Pipestone, where it has an intersection with PTH 83, before crossing into the Rural Municipality of Sifton.

The highway crosses a railroad track and passes through neighbourhoods before having an intersection with PTH 22 and PR 250 at the northern edge of downtown.

It goes through another switchback as follows along the northern and eastern edges of Haywood before travelling through Elm Creek, where it has intersections with PTH 13 and PR 247, as well as crossing over a railroad track.

The highway continues northeast to pass through the communities of Culross and Fannystelle, where it has an intersection with PR 248, before entering the Rural Municipality of Macdonald.

Provincial Road 530 (PR 530) is a 7.3-kilometre-long (4.5 mi) spur of PTH 2 in the Municipality of Glenboro-South Cypress, previously connecting it to the hamlet of Treesbank prior to the Souris River bridge collapse during the 2011 Souris River flood.
