Manitoba Highway 29


Provincial Trunk Highway 29 was a short provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The highway was an at-grade expressway with a length of and located within the former Town of Emerson. It served as a connecting route between PTH 75 and Interstate 29 at the Pembina-Emerson Border Crossing on the Canada-United States border.

History

PTH 29 became a spur route of PTH 75 when the PTH 75/29 junction at Emerson was reconstructed in 1985 to direct through traffic to PTH 29/I-29 instead of to PTH 75's south to the nearby Noyes–Emerson East Border Crossing and U.S. Route 75. Prior to this, through traffic was directed towards Noyes and U.S. 75; those wishing to travel I-29 were required to turn onto the connecting road north of the border. The Manitoba government officially rerouted PTH 75 to connect directly to the Pembina-Emerson border crossing in 2012, after the Noyes and Emerson East border stations were permanently closed, and discontinued the PTH 29 designation.
While the route itself was not signed, PTH 29 was shown on Manitoba's official road map, though many other cartographers omitted it. The only sign identifying the highway could be seen traveling westbound on the former PTH 75 toward the old PTH 75/29 intersection north of the border station.
