Provincial Road 424 (PR 424) is a 34.5-kilometre-long (21.4 mi) north-south highway in both the Central Plains and Winnipeg Metro regions of Manitoba. Almost entirely located within the Rural Municipality of Cartier, it connects Springstein and St. Eustache via Lido Plage.
PR 424 begins in the Rural Municipality of Macdonald at a junction with PTH 2 (Red Coat Trail) between Starbuck and Oak Bluff, heading north as a paved two-lane highway to enter the Rural Municipality of Cartier and travel through Springstein, where the asphalt transitions to gravel. Heading due north through farmland, it has an intersection with PR 427 (Wilkes Avenue) just west of Calrin while simultaneously crossing a railway. The highway now curves westward, having an intersection with Lido Plage Road (former PR 424), providing access to Roblin Boulevard (former PR 241) and Beaudry Provincial Park) as it bypasses the community of Lido Plage. Curving back northward as it passes just to the north of White Plains, PR 424 has another intersection with Lido Plage Road shortly before crossing PTH 1 (Trans-Canada Highway / Yellowhead Highway). Now paralleling the south bank of the Assiniboine River, the highway heads northwest through rural farmland for the next several kilometres, passing the Lakeside, Barickman, Maxwell, and Rosedale Hutterite colonies before coming to an end just south of St. Eustache at an intersection with PR 248.[1][2][3]
