Route description
PR 355 begins at the east boundary of the Birdtail Sioux First Nation, and terminates at PTH 16A in Minnedosa.
From Birdtail Sioux First Nation, it travels 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) before it intersects PTH 83 just north of Beulah. From PTH 83, PR 355 continues east for 32 kilometres (20 mi), passing through the communities of Isabella (where it meets southbound PR 474), Decker (where it intersects PR 264), and Lavinia. Approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of Lavinia, the road meets PTH 21. PTH 21 and PR 355 continue in concurrence south for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) before PR 355 leaves the concurrence and continues east, traveling 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) to meet southbound PR 354. The two roads run in concurrence for 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) before PR 354 turns north and leaves the concurrence. PR 355 continues for 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) to meet southbound PR 250, passing the village of Cardale about midway in between. The two roads also run in concurrence for 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) before PR 250 also turns north and leaves the concurrence. From the end of this second concurrence, the road continues east for 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) to an intersection with PR 270 near the unincorporated community of Cadurcis. From PR 270, the road continues east for 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) to meet PTH 10 and 16 just west of Minnedosa. PR 355 continues east for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) into Minnedosa, reaching its eastbound terminus with PTH 16A in the town's north end.
PR 355 is known as 6th Avenue N.W. within Minnedosa's town limits.
The route is gravel for most its length, with paved sections between its western terminus and PTH 83, between Cardale and the junction with northbound PR 250, along with the section between its eastbound terminus to approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of the PTH 10/16 junction and the concurrence it shares with PTH 21.
