Route description
editPTH 59 is a four-lane at-grade expressway from Provincial Road 210 south of Île-des-Chênes, through Winnipeg, to the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, except for a two-kilometre section of six-lane road between the North Perimeter Highway (PTH 101) and Provincial Road 202. The remainder of PTH 59 is a two-lane highway except within the communities of St. Pierre-Jolys and St. Malo.
PTH 59 coincides with City Route 20 (Lagimodière Boulevard) as it runs through the eastern part of Winnipeg. North of the city, PTH 59 is the main route to Grand Beach and the eastern side of Lake Winnipeg and part of the La Vérendrye Trail. To the south, PTH 59 is effectively the modern-day successor to the original Crow Wing Trail as one of two main roads between Winnipeg and the United States border, serving as an alternative to PTH 75. PTH 59 is also a main route on both sides of Winnipeg for rural Manitobans commuting to work in the city.[3][4][5]

Provincial Road 504 (PR 504) is a short 2.3-kilometre-long (1.4 mi) north-south spur of PTH 59 in the Rural Municipality of Victoria Beach, connecting the communities of Victoria Beach itself and Wanasing Beach with both the community and beach of Sandy Bay on Lake Winnipeg. Between PTH 59 and the intersection with Olafsson Boulevard and Hampton Road, PR 504 is a paved two-lane highway. Past this intersection though, it is a narrow single lane gravel road for the 0.1 kilometres (0.062 mi) to the dead end at the beach on Lake Winnipeg. Throughout its length, PR 504 travels through a mix of woodlands and lakeside neighbourhoods.[2][6]
