Provincial Road 238 (PR 238), also known as River Road, is a provincial road in the Canadian province of Manitoba, in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews.
PR 238 begins at the junction of Provincial Trunk Highway 9 (PTH 9) and PTH 27 near the settlement of Parkdale. It follows a scenic route along the west bank of the Red River north to Lockport, terminating at PTH 44 near the St. Andrews Lock and Dam. River Road itself continues north as a municipal road and ends at PTH 9 near Lower Fort Garry.[1]
River Road, or Inner Road, was constructed in the early 1800s to connect settlements along the Red River, such as St. Andrews and St. Clements, to the King's Road (present-day PTH 9) between Upper and Lower Fort Garry. As a parish road during the Red River Settlement-era, it was maintained by the local parishes using statue labour.[2] It later became a provincial road in the late 19th century and then designated as Provincial Road 238 after Manitoba's current secondary road system was established in the 1960s.[3]
There are numerous points of interest along PR 238, including four National Historic Sites:
