Provincial Trunk Highway 4 (PTH 4) is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The highway connects the city of Selkirk to PTH 59, the main route to Grand Beach and cottage country on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. Route description PTH 4 begins in the city limits of Manitoba at an intersection between PTH 9 and PTH 9A, just northwest of the city center. The highway heads northeast for a few kilometers to leave Selkirk and enter Rural Municipality of St. Andrews. Passing through rural areas, it curves eastward to have an interchange (via access road) with PR 320 and cross the St. Peters Dynevor Bridge over the Red River, entering the Rural Municipality of St. Clements. PTH 4 travels just to the north of East Selkirk, having an intersection with PR 508 (La Vérendrye Trail) before continuing south east through areas for a couple kilometers before coming to an end at an intersection with PTH 59. The entire length of Manitoba Provincial Trunk Highway 4 is a paved, rural, two-lane highway. History The current PTH 4 first appeared on the 1989–90 Manitoba Highway Map. The current route has no relation to the previous PTH 4, which was a major transportation route in the province. Originally, PTH 4 (which first appeared on the 1928 Manitoba Highway Map) started its course in Portage la Prairie at a junction with PTH 1. From Portage la Prairie, the road traveled north following the current Provincial Road (PR) 240 to Mile 71N (formerly PR 249). The highway would then turn west and rejoin its current configuration just south of Macdonald. The junction was moved to its current location eight miles west of Portage la Prairie in 1950, where PTH 4 would make a right turn on what is now PTH 16, the Yellowhead Highway. At the Saskatchewan border, PTH 4 became Highway 14. The original section between Portage la Prairie and Macdonald was designated as PTH 4A between 1953 and 1965. PTH 4 became a trans-provincial highway in 1958 when PTH 1 was reconfigured to its current route to become part of the Trans-Canada Highway system four years later. Former sections of PTH 1 were redesignated as PTH 4. At this point, PTH 4 began near the Ontario border, passing through Whitemouth and Beausejour to Lockport. From Lockport, the highway traveled south, entering Winnipeg as Main St and sharing the
