Provincial Trunk Highway 3 (PTH 3) is a major provincial highway located in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the Saskatchewan boundary (where it meets Highway 18) to the southwest city limits of Winnipeg, where it continues as Winnipeg Route 155 (McGillivray Boulevard). Prior before to the implementation of Winnipeg's City Route System, it extended to Pembina Highway.
West of its junction of PTH 14, PTH 3 is designated as the Boundary Commission Trail,[2] commemorating the historic red river cart trail which connected western communities to the North-Western Territory and to British Columbia.[3]
