Highway 34 has been named the worst road in Manitoba for the second consecutive year, according to the results of the 2026 CAA Worst Roads campaign.
The Pembina Valley highway, located west of Winnipeg, has now appeared on the provincial top 10 list seven times. Manitobans who nominated PTH 34 cited potholes, poor maintenance, and uneven road surfaces as their primary concerns.
“This year’s list shows that road issues are not just a Winnipeg problem or a rural problem, they’re a Manitoba problem,” said Ewald Friesen, manager of government and community relations for CAA Manitoba. “There is an even split between rural and urban roads on the provincial list.”
This year’s campaign saw 711 roads across 69 municipalities nominated, with potholes, poor maintenance, and uneven surfaces ranking as the most common complaints province-wide.
CAA Manitoba uses its annual campaign to call on provincial and municipal governments to commit to predictable, year-over-year investments in road maintenance and safety.
