For other meanings of Perimeter Highway, see Perimeter Highway (disambiguation).

Provincial Trunk Highways (PTH) 100 and 101 (locally known as the Perimeter Highway) is a beltway around Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Perimeter is approximately 90 km (57 miles) long. It is an alternate route around Winnipeg for through traffic, as there are no freeways through the city. The highway was originally built in 1969 when a freeway system was cancelled to accommodate traffic around Winnipeg to avoid the city centre rush hour traffic. The northeast section was left unbuilt, as PTH 59 had received significant upgrades, making the need for a northeast section less pressing. PTH 59 continued to serve as the de facto northeast leg of the Perimeter until the mid-1990s, when the remaining segments of the highway were completed. The highway now encircles Winnipeg.

Most of the Perimeter is a four-lane divided expressway, with interchanges and at-grade intersections. Part of the Northeastern section of the Perimeter is in the process of being twinned. [1] North of Trans-Canada Highway, Perimeter Highway is PTH 101, and South of the Trans-Canada Highway, Perimeter Highway is PTH 100 (this section is part of the Trans Canada Highway).

The Perimeter Highway bridge across the Red River and roadway at Pembina Highway was constructed in 1958. The job was tendered to Peter Leitch Construction Ltd. at a cost of $188,670. In December 1957, Dominion Bridge was awarded the contract ($80,157) to supply the structural steel for the overpass.[1]
