Route description
PR 255 begins in the Rural Municipality of Pipestone at the Saskatchewan border, with the road continuing into the Rural Municipality of Maryfield No. 91 as Township Road 92, which connects to Saskatchewan Highway 600 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi). It heads west through the hamlet of Ebor on its way to Cromer, where it shares a very short concurrency with PR 256 as the pair cross a bridge over Pipestone Creek together. Leaving Cromer, the highway traverses a switchback as it travels along the south side of Woodnorth, where it has a junction with Road 159W (formerly PR 252). After crossing PTH 83 in the Scarth community, PR 255 enters the Rural Municipality of Sifton, traveling along the northern side of Oak Lake before coming to an end at a junction with PR 254 north of Oak Lake Beach. The entire length of PR 255 is a gravel, two-lane highway.

Why this record matters
The phrase “highway in Manitoba, Canada” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 6, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q118874744. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
