Provincial Trunk Highway 12 (PTH 12) is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It runs from the U.S. border (where it meets with Minnesota State Highway 313) to a dead end in Grand Beach. PTH 12 forms the Manitoba section of MOM's Way, a route from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg. Except for a 22 kilometre stretch of four lanes between Steinbach and Highway 1, PTH 12 is a two-lane highway.
PTH 12 was designated in 1928 from Winnipeg to Ste. Anne. In 1950, it extended south to Sarto. In 1951, it extended southeast to Zhoda. In 1953, it extended southeast to a road intersection north of Sundown. In 1954, it extended southeast to Piney. In 1955, it extended southeast to South Junction. In 1958, it was proposed to extend southeast to near Sprague. The extension opened in 1959. Also in 1959, it extended north and east to Pine Falls, replacing PTH 22 north of Anola. A spur, Manitoba Highway 12V, was created from PTH 12 to Victoria Beach from the part of PTH 22 that was not replaced by PTH 12. Another spur, Manitoba Highway 12G, was created from PTH 12 to Grand Beach as a renumbering of PTH 22A. In 1960, PTH 12 extended southeast to the Minnesota border. In 1966, the section of PTH 12 from PTH 12V to Pine Falls became part of PTH 11, and the section of PTH 12 from PTH 12G to PTH 12V, along with PTH 12V itself, became part of Highway 59. PTH 12 was instead rerouted over PTH 12G.
