Route description
editPR 332 begins in the Municipality of Rhineland at an intersection between PTH 14 and the north end of PTH 30 on the southern edge of Rosenfeld. It heads north through the centre of town along Main Street, with the pavement turning to gravel just past Oliver Avenue, before leaving Rosenfeld and traversing a switchback as it crosses a railway. The highway crosses a bridge over the Plum River before entering the Rural Municipality of Morris, travelling through rural farmland for several kilometres to cross a floodway before joining a concurrency (overlap) with PTH 23, becoming paved as the two head west into the town of Lowe Farm. Forming both Main Street and the southern boundary of town, the pass through both neighbourhoods and the main business district before PR 332 splits off and heads north as a gravel road once again, leaving Lowe Farm travelling through rural farmland again for several kilometres, sharing a short concurrency with PR 205 near Sperling before entering the Rural Municipality of Macdonald.[citation needed]
PR 332 crosses the Morris River near its confluence with the Boyne River before entering Brunkild, becoming paved as it passes through the eastern side of town to have intersections with both PR 305 and PTH 3. After crossing the Central Manitoba Railway, PR 332 turns to gravel again as it leaves Brunkild behind and heads north through rural areas, having a short concurrency with PR 247 near Sanford. The highway passes by Starbuck Airport before entering the town of Starbuck at an intersection with PTH 2 (Red Coat Trail), becoming paved as it passes through the centre of downtown along Main Street, crossing both a railway and a bridge over the La Salle River. After passing through some neighbourhoods on the north side of town, PR 332 turns to gravel again as it leaves Starbuck and heads north through farmland. Entering the Rural Municipality of Cartier, the highway traverses a switchback before travelling through the centre of Dacotah, crossing a railway before coming to an end at a junction with PTH 1 (Trans-Canada Highway / Yellowhead Highway).[1][2]
