Route description
Highway 355 begins at the very western edge of the Rural Municipality of Buckland No. 491 near the banks of the Sturgeon River at the eastern end of Sturgeon Lake via the junction with Greig Road (which provides access to the Sturgeon Lake First Nation), with the road continuing west towards Sturgeon Lake Regional Park as Highway 788. It traverses a switchback as it heads southeast as a paved two-lane highway through a mix of farmland and wooded areas for several kilometres, passing through Alingly and crossing the Spruce River before passing through the hamlet of Spruce Home, where it crosses the CanAm Highway (Hwy 2). Continuing eastward through rural areas, the pavement transitions to gravel as the highway passes through Henribourg, where it crosses both a former railway line and the Garden River, and curves northeastward to have intersections with both Paddockwood Road (leads north to Paddockwood) and St. James Avenue N (leads south to Albertville). Entering the Rural Municipality of Garden River No. 490, Highway 355 winds its way through rural farmland parallel to the former railway for several kilometres to enter the southern edge of Meath Park, where it comes to an end at a junction with Highway 55 (Northern Woods and Water Route) just west of that highway's intersection with Highway 120.[2]
