Provincial Road 278 (PR 278) is a 41.8-kilometre-long (26.0 mi) north–south highway in the Rural Municipality of Alonsa, Manitoba. Running along the western coastlines of both Lake Manitoba and Ebb and Flow Lake, it serves as the only road access to the Ebb and Flow First Nation, as well as connecting Kinosota, Bacon Ridge, Eddystone, Reedy Creek, and Silver Ridge. Margaret Bruce Provincial Park can also be accessed from the highway.

Route description

PR 278 begins at a junction with Provincial Trunk Highway 50 (PTH 50) (Kinosota Road) in Silver Ridge, almost immediately having an intersection with Bluff Creek Road (which provides access to Margaret Bruce Provincial Park) before heading northeast through a mix of farmland and wooded areas for the next several kilometres, paralleling the coastline of Lake Manitoba. It has an intersection with Kinosota Access Road (which provides access to both Kinosota and Manitoba House) before going switchbacks as it travels through Reedy Creek, where the highway begins following the coastline of Ebb and Flow Lake. PR 278 passes through Bacon Ridge before travelling through the Ebb and Flow First Nation, serving as its main thoroughfare. The highway comes to an end shortly thereafter at an intersection with PTH 68 (Northern Woods and Water Route) just south of Eddystone. The entire length of PR 278 is a paved, two-lane highway.
