History

PTH 29 became a spur route of PTH 75 when its junction with PTH 75 at Emerson was reconstructed in 1985 to direct through traffic from the north to PTH 29 instead of PTH 75 south to the nearby Noyes–Emerson East Border Crossing and US Highway 75 (US 75). Prior to this, those wishing to travel I-29 were required to turn onto the connecting road north of the border. After the Noyes and Emerson East border stations were permanently closed in the mid 2000s, the highway alignment remained unchanged until 2012 when the Manitoba government formally eliminated PTH 29 and moved PTH 75's southern terminus to the Pembina–Emerson border crossing.^[1]

While the route itself was not signed, PTH 29 was shown on Manitoba's official road map, though many other cartographers omitted it.^{[citation needed]} The only sign identifying the highway could be seen traveling westbound on the former PTH 75 towards the old PTH 75/PTH 29 intersection, which has since been removed.^{[citation needed]}
