Provincial Road 220 (PR 220) is a provincial road in the Interlake region of Manitoba, Canada. It connects suburbs on the northern edge of Winnipeg with PTH 8, PTH 67, and Oak Hammock Marsh. Between PTH 8 and PR 409, PR 220 is named Grassmere Road, with the rest of its length known as Blackdale Road.[1]

Route description

PR 220 begins at Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 8 approximately 1km (01miles) north of the Winnipeg's Perimeter Highway. It runs northwest in concurrency with Grassemere Road to a junction with PR 409 and then turns north, heading to Provincial Trunk Highway (PTH) 67.

North of PTH 67, PR 220 continues 3.75km (02.33miles) to Oak Hammock Marsh where its designated route terminates at the park's access road. The road itself continues a short distance as Municipal Road 14E. This section was added to PR 220 in the mid-1980s.[2]
