Provincial Road 231 (PR 231) is a 41.9adj=midNaNadj=mid east–west highway in the Interlake Region of Manitoba, connecting the hamlets of Narcisse and Fraserwood with Gimli.
PR 231 begins in the Rural Municipality of Armstrong at an intersection with PTH 17 at the northern edge of Narcisse. After a short distance, the highway curves to head due eastward as a gravel road, passing by the site of the former hamlet of Bender as well as passing just north of Dennis Lake. The highway becomes concurrent (overlapped) with PTH 7 for a short distance, becoming paved, to Fraserwood, where PR 231 splits and becomes the main thoroughfare for the community.[1] PR 231 now heads east through rural woodlands for several kilometres to enter the Rural Municipality of Gimli, immediately entering farmland as it travels past Gimli Motorsports Park and the former RCAF Gimli to have an intersection with PTH 8. The highway now enters the town of Gimli, travelling through some neighbourhoods before coming to an end at an intersection between PTH 9 and PR 222 (both of which are Seventh Avenue), just a few blocks away from both downtown and the beaches of Lake Winnipeg.[2]
