Provincial Road 459 (PR 459) is a very short provincial road in the southwest part of the Canadian province of Manitoba.
Route description
Provincial Road 459, known as Grand Valley Road, is an east-west route and runs from the Trans-Canada Highway near the Grand Valley Provincial Campground to its terminus at PTH 10 (18th Street North) in Brandon.
PR 459 serves as a feeder route for communities located on the north end of Brandon from the Trans-Canada Highway as well as to the Brandon Experimental Station. The road travels in very close proximity to the Assiniboine River for most of its length, and offers a very scenic alternative route for people travelling in to Brandon as compared to the Trans-Canada Highway or PTH 1A.
Due to its close proximity to the Assiniboine River, a portion of the road was closed when the river flooded in the spring of 2011.
PR 459 is a paved road for its entire length. The speed limit along this road is 90 km/h.
