Provincial Road 346 (PR 346) is a mostly gravel 50.5-kilometre-long (31.4 mi) north–south highway in the Westman Region of Manitoba, Canada. It connects Ninga with Margaret and Nesbitt.

Route description

PR 346 begins in the Municipality of Killarney-Turtle Mountain at an intersection with PTH 3 (Boundary Commission Trail) just south of Ninga. It heads north as a paved two-lane highway for 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to enter the hamlet at an intersection with PR 443. Traveling along the western edge of town, the highway crosses a railroad and has an intersection with Railway Street before the pavement turns to gravel, and the highway leaves Ninga to head north through rural farmland. Entering the Rural Municipality of Prairie Lakes, PR 346 goes through a switchback before having a junction with PTH 23 and traveling through Margaret, where it has a brief paved section. The highway becomes slightly narrower as it goes through switchbacks and hairpin curves for the next several kilometers down a mountain pass into a river valley, where it crosses a narrow one-lane bridge over the Souris River. Climbing back out of the valley, though much straighter this time, it enters the Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa and comes to an end shortly thereafter at a junction with PTH 2 (Red Coat Trail) just on the outskirts of Nesbitt.

History

Prior to 1992, PR 346 continued south, via a concurrency with PTH 3 (Boundary Commission Trail), for an additional 11.1 kilometres (6.9 mi) along Wakopa Road (Road 106W) to a junction with PR 341 just north of Wakopa.
