PR 262 runs in concurrence with the highway from its southern terminus into Minnedosa, leaving the concurrence at the corner of Main Street and 2nd Avenue SE.

The current Minnedosa by-pass, which at the time took the PTH 4/10 designation, was completed and opened to traffic in 1971.[1] The old highway was redesignated as PTH 4A and kept that designation until 1977, when it was renumbered to coincide with the redesignation of Manitoba portion of the Yellowhead Highway to Highway 16.
