highway's course with Route 52 (then known as Route 50). At Portage Ave the highway turned right, sharing the highway's course with Route 85. PTH 1 merged on to Portage Ave from Broadway and the two highways continued along the same course out of Winnipeg. Eight miles west of the Winnipeg city limits, PTH 4 branched off to the right through St. Francois Xavier and Poplar Point. It would then rejoin PTH 1 just east of Portage la Prairie. The two highways would once again share the road through Portage la Prairie to the previous eastern terminus. In 1968, PTH 4's eastern terminus was returned to its previous location with the Trans-Canada Highway eight miles west of Portage la Prairie. The segments of the former trans-provincial PTH 4 east of this junction were redesignated as follows: PTH 44 between the Ontario border and Lockport PTH 9 between Lockport and Winnipeg PTH 26 between St. Francois Xavier and Portage la Prairie The original section of PTH 4, which became part of the Yellowhead Highway system in 1970, was renumbered PTH 16 in 1977 to allow the route to retain the number 16 designation across all provinces in Western Canada. In 1988, PTH 4 was revived as a connector route to PTH 59 to serve the needs of those travelling to and from Grand Beach and Selkirk. The speed limit on the route is .
