Route description edit
PTH 25 begins in the Rural Municipality of Riverdale at a junction with PR 259 in Wheatland, directly north of the former CFB Rivers. It heads north for roughly 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) before curving eastward, becoming concurrent (overlapped) with PR 250 and crossing a rail line into the town of Rivers. The highway curves southeast, following First Avenue as it travels through neighborhoods and along the southern edge of downtown, where PR 250 splits off and heads north along Brunswick Street. PTH 25 leaves Rivers and passes by Rivers Provincial Park as it crosses the Little Saskatchewan River just east of the dam impounding Lake Wahtopanah. The highway travels along the southern edge of Chimo Resort before continuing due east through farmland for several kilometers. It crosses into the Rural Municipality of Elton and has an intersection with PR 270, continuing east through rural farmland for a few more kilometers before coming to an end at a junction with PTH 10 (John Bracken Highway) just north of Forrest. The road continues east on gravel as Road 69N.[1][2]
The entire length of Manitoba Highway 25, is a rural, paved, two-lane highway.
