Provincial Road 246 (PR 246) is a 36.0-kilometre-long (22.4 mi) provincial road in both the Pembina Valley and Eastman regions of the Canadian province of Manitoba.
[1] Today, most of PR 246 is gravel road; only a short section near St. Jean Baptiste is paved.
The southern terminus of PR 246 at St. Jean Baptiste has been cut off from the rest of the road since the bridge over the Red River was closed in 2013 and later demolished.
[2][3] A 13-kilometre (8.1 mi) section between PR 205 and Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 23 is due to be upgraded and paved by the Manitoba government to serve as a detour for when PTH 75, a major transportation route that runs along the west side of the river, is closed at Morris due to flooding.
[4] Prior to 1992, PR 246 continued 18.9 kilometres (11.7 mi) southwest from St. Jean Baptiste along Road 18N and Road 3E, crossing PTH 14 along its way to St. Joseph, where it came to an end at an intersection with PR 201.
