Provincial Trunk Highway 83 (PTH 83) is a major north-south highway that runs in the far western region of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It travels from the North Dakota border south of Melita, north through Virden, Birtle, Russell, and Roblin to its northern terminus with PTH 10 just east of Swan River. Along with US 83, PTH 83 is part of the longest continuously numbered north-south highway in North America with a combined distance is 3,450 kilometers (2,140 mi).

Route history

A small portion of PTH 83 is being reconstructed between Roblin and Russell due to a large slide. The area affected is located one kilometre north of PR 366 at the bottom of the Shell Valley. Traffic is being detoured around that portion of highway. The slide became serious enough to close the road on July 2, 2012. The area which is closed has slid several times in the past years. It was once home to a lookout point over the Assessippi Valley. That lookout point was declared unsafe and was closed during a previous partial collapse of the road.
