The highway is known as Main Street between Winnipeg and Selkirk, as this is the name of the road within both of those cities, and has a suburban character as a 4-lane, mostly undivided highway with numerous residences and businesses. At Selkirk, the highway turns off to bypass the city and becomes more of a rural highway. The bypass around Selkirk is known as the "Selkirk By-Pass". The road that runs through Selkirk is known as PTH 9A (Main Street also continues as PTH 9A, and then as PR 320 until PTH 4, where it becomes Breezy Point Road).
History
Originally, PTH 9 followed what is now Routes 42 (then known as Route 40) and 57 through Winnipeg. Outside the Perimeter, the route followed Provincial Road 204 to Lockport, where it would join its present alignment.[2]
Today's PTH 9 between Winnipeg and Lockport was previously PTH 1 prior to 1958,[3] and PTH 4 between 1958 and 1968. The Selkirk By-Pass between PR 230 and PTH 9A was not signed. In 1968, PTH 9 was moved to its present alignment.[4]
At Gimli, the roadway continues northerly as Provincial Road 222.
