Route description

[edit]

Hwy 43 begins in the Rural Municipality of Lac Pelletier No. 107 at an intersection with Hwy 4 just south of Blumenort, with the road continuing west towards Lac Pelletier as an unnamed Township Road. It heads east for a few kilometres to cross into the Rural Municipality of Whiska Creek No. 106, where it slowly winds its way southeast to travel along the south sides of Neville and Pambrun, where it has an intersection with Hwy 628 and passes by the Millar College of the Bible. After crossing a railway line, the highway travels along the north side of Vanguard, where it has an intersection with Hwy 609 and crosses Notukeu Creek, before heading due east, entering the Rural Municipality of Glen Bain No. 105 and travelling just to the north of Esme (access via Range Road 3092) on its way to share a short concurrency (overlap) with Hwy 19 on the outskirts of Glenbain. Hwy 43 now heads due eastward through rural farmland for several kilometres, entering the Rural Municipality of Gravelbourg No. 104 to have a short concurrency with Hwy 610 before entering the town of Gravelbourg, where it travels along 1st Avenue W/E through neighbourhoods and a business district on the south side of town, passing by the town's hospital as well as College Mathieu and sharing a short concurrency with Hwy 58. The road now leaves town and continues east, crossing the Wood River and entering into the Rural Municipality of Sutton No. 103 to have an intersection with Hwy 627 and passes along the north sides of Palmer (access via Range Road 3094) and Mazenod, where it crosses Hwy 608. After passing just to the north of Ettington, the highway comes to an end shortly thereafter at at an intersection with Hwy 2 between Vantage and Mossbank, with the road continuing east as Township Road 110. The entire length of Hwy 43 is a paved, two-lane highway.[2]
