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. A large portion of the original PR 353 was included in this decommissioning.
Prior to this, PR 353 was more than twice its current length. It continued past its current eastbound terminus with PTH 5 (''
PR 258 prior to 1980'') as a concurrence to the unincorporated community of
Wellwood, where PR 353 continued east to meet
PR 352. The two roads joined in a northwest concurrence to the unincorporated community of
Edrans.
From Edrans, PR 353 continued east through the unincorporated community of Pine Creek Station to its terminus with
PTH 34.
