Provincial Trunk Highway 41 (PTH 41) is a short provincial highway in the far southwest region of the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from PTH 1 and PR 542 in the village of Kirkella to PTH 16 and PTH 83 just south of Binscarth.

PTH 41 is the main highway through the communities of McAuley and St. Lazare, and follows the Saskatchewan border for most of its length. The majority of the route travels within 10 km (6 mi) of the provincial boundary.

The speed limit is 90 km/h (55 mph).

Route description

PTH 41 begins in the Rural Municipality of Wallace - Woodworth at a junction with PTH 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) in Kirkella, with the road continuing southward as PR 542. It heads due northward to enter the Rural Municipality of Ellice - Archie, traveling through rural farmland for several kilometers to travel past Manson, where it has an intersection with PR 467 and crosses a creek. Continuing north for several more kilometers, the highway goes through a slight switchback before crossing a railroad track and traveling through McAuley, where it junctions with PR 256. PTH 41 leaves McAuley and has intersection with PR 571 (short continuation of Saskatchewan Highway 308 (Hwy 308)) and PR 545 before becoming very curvy and winding as it lowers itself down into the Qu'Appelle River valley. The highway crosses the Assiniboine River, just meters from its merge with the Qu'Appelle, and a railroad to enter the town of St. Lazare. Entering town along Main Street, it makes a sharp left onto Fouillard Avenue at the center of town. PTH 41 now heads eastward to leave St. Lazare and climb back out of the river valley, only to come to a T-intersection with PTH 42 a couple kilometers later, with PTH 41 turning due north again here. PTH 41 traverses rural and mostly flat farmland for the next several kilometers, having an intersection with PR 475 before entering the Rural Municipality of Russell – Binscarth. The highway makes a sharp curve to the east to cross a railroad line and immediately come to an end at an intersection with PTH 16 (Yellowhead Highway) / PTH 83 just south of Binscarth. The road continues east as PR 359.^[1][2]

The entire length of Manitoba Highway 41 is a rural, paved, two-lane highway.
