Manitoba Highway 75
Winnipeg, MB to Emerson, MB
Manitoba Highway 75 runs approximately 100 km from Winnipeg south to the US border at Emerson, where it connects to Interstate 29 at Pembina, North Dakota. It is the primary truck corridor linking Winnipeg to the US Great Plains freight network and the main export route for Manitoba grain moving to US Gulf terminals. The Red River Valley sits below river grade in many places, and spring flooding has closed the highway for weeks at a time. High Prairie crosswinds are a year-round concern for empty or light-loaded trailers.
