History

PTH 11 is one of the original numbered highways within the province of Manitoba, first appearing on the original 1926 Manitoba Highway Map. Originally a short connector highway spanning between PTH 1 at Seddons Corner and Lac du Bonnet, the highway was extended north to

Pine Falls Powerview-Pine Falls is a town in the Canada, Canadian province of Manitoba, with a population of 1,314 at the Canada 2011 Census, 2011 census, up 1.54% from 1,294 at the Canada 2006 Census, 2006 census and down 7.57% from 1,400 during the Canada ...

in 1947. In 1954, PTH 11 obtained the distinction of being both a north-south and east-west highway much like current Provincial Trunk Highways 5, 20, and 50. That year, the highway was extended south through Whitemouth (running in concurrence with PTH 1), Elma and

before turning west to meet PTH 12 just north of Ste. Anne. The following year, the section between PR 214 and PTH 44 was completed and opened to traffic. The former east-west section of PTH 11 was redesignated as PTH 1 in 1958 in preparation for its inclusion in the

system four years later. This redesignated PTH 11 to its current southbound terminus near Hadashville. PTH 11 was extended farther north from Pine Falls to its current northbound terminus with PTH 59 in 1966, replacing what had been previously designated as PTH 12.
