Route description
The road starts on the east side of Bowsman at PR 266 and ends at PR 268, eleven miles east of the village. Six miles east of Bowsman it intersects PR 366. It crosses one major river, the Woody River. There used to be a ford crossing over the Swan River. However in 2006 it was removed due to environmental issues and the fact that it would wash out nearly every spring. Because of this, the road is no longer a direct route to PR 268, and the nearest bridge across the Swan River is located on PR 366. Prior to the closure of the ford crossing, the AADT ranged from 30 to 60.
