Provincial Road 586 (PR 586) is a former provincial road in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is sometimes called "Alpine Road."[citation needed]
Route description[]
The route began at PTH 83 north of Durban, and met PR 486 just south of the village. From there, it ascends into the Duck Mountains. Near , the road curves towards the west and meets PTH 83 again. The route was mostly gravel, with a very small paved portion from PTH 83 to PR 486 near Durban.[1]
History[]
In the early 1990s, the Manitoba government decommissioned a number of provincial secondary roads and returned the maintenance of these roads back to the rural municipalities; PR 586 was one of these routes and is now a municipal road.
When PR 586 was decommissioned, the paved portion of the route became part of PR 486.[2] Thus PR 486 now terminates at PTH 83 rather than in Durban. The rest of the route still sees a moderate amount of traffic and is wider than most municipal roads. Several provincial roadsigns still remain along the route.
