History
editPR 351 was part of the original Highway 1 prior to 1958.[1]
In 1962, Highway 1 became part of the Trans-Canada Highway. The current configuration of Highway 1 began construction in 1957 and was opened to traffic the following year, putting the new route 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north of Carberry.[2] The route was given its current designation when the Manitoba government implemented its secondary highway system in 1966.
