Provincial Road 264 (PR 264) is a 119.2-kilometre-long (74.1 mi) north–south highway in the Westman and Parkland Regions of Manitoba, connecting Crandall, Decker, Kelloe, Rossburn, and Silver Beach.

Route description

PR 264 begins in the Prairie View Municipality at an intersection with PTH 24 in the community of Crandall. It heads north as a paved two-lane highway to travel along the eastern side of town before transitioning to gravel and heading north to have a junction with PR 469. The highway crosses the Arrow River as it begins straddling the Hamiota Municipality border, travelling through Decker, where it has an intersection with PR 355.

PR 264 goes through a switchback as it enters the Rural Municipality of Yellowhead, continuing north through rural farmland for several kilometres to cross the Arrow River a final time before having a junction with PTH 42. The highway enters the community of Kelloe, crossing a railway before joining a concurrency (overlap) with PTH 16 (Yellowhead Highway) westbound. The pair re-enter the Prairie View Municipality before PR 264 splits off and heads north as a paved two-lane highway.

After travelling through several kilometres of rural farmland, the highway enters the Rossburn Municipality to have an intersection with PR 359 before entering the town of Rossburn, passing straight through the centre of town along Main Street. PR 264 has an intersection with PTH 45 before leaving town and continuing north to an intersection with PR 577, where the pavement ends.^[1] Continuing along gravel, it goes through a switchback at Glen Elmo before making a sharp turn to the west and begin following the southern boundary of Riding Mountain National Park.

Entering the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West, PR 264 travels west past Silver Beach (via Sawaryn Road) before meeting PR 476 and going through a switchback. Leaving the National Park behind, the highway has a junction with PR 478 prior to travelling west through Cracknell and coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 83 along the border with the Municipality of Russell-Binscarth.^[2]^[3]

History

Prior to 1992, when PR 264 was designated, the entire length of the highway was a part of a much longer PR 254, which had existed as far back as 1966. Also included in this former section of PR 254 was a short concurrency with PR 259 past Lenore, along with what is now Road 67N and Road 145W.^[4]^[5]
