Provincial Trunk Highways (PTH) 100 and 101 (locally known as the Perimeter Highway) form a beltway around the Canadian city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Perimeter is approximately 90 km (56 mi) long. It is an alternate route around Winnipeg for through traffic, as there are no freeways through the city.
The highway was originally built in 1955, to bypass city centre rush hour traffic. The northeast section was left unbuilt at the time, as PTH 59 had received significant upgrades, making the need for a northeast section less pressing. PTH 59 continued to serve as the de facto northeast leg of the Perimeter until the mid-1990s, when the remaining segments of the highway were completed. The highway now encircles Winnipeg.
The southern segment of the Perimeter Highway is part of the Trans-Canada Highway as the Winnipeg By-Pass, and designated as Highway 100. The northern segment is a provincial highway designated as PTH 101.
