Manitoba Provincial Road 353 is a provincial road in southwestern region of the Canadian province of Manitoba.
The route begins at PTH 5 near Oberon, and terminates at PTH 10.
PR 353 is an east-west highway providing access to the unincorporated communities of Brookdale and Moore Park. The road is generally quite straight and is paved for its entire length.
In the early 1990s, the Manitoba government decommissioned a number of provincial secondary roads and returned the maintenance of these roads back to the rural municipalities. A large portion of the original PR 353 was included in this decommissioning.
Prior to this, PR 353 was more than double its current length. It extended past its current eastbound terminus with PTH 5, continuing in a southbound concurrence for 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) before turning east and traveling 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the unincorporated community of Wellwood, where PR 353 left the concurrence. PR 353 continued east for 18 kilometres (11 mi) to meet PR 352 just south of Edrans. The two roads joined in a northwest concurrence for 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to Edrans where PR 353 left the concurrence and continued east.
From Edrans, PR 353 traveled 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) before turning south for 1 kilometre (0.62 mi). It then turned east, continuing for 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) through the unincorporated community of Pine Creek Station to its eastbound terminus with PTH 34 just east of the community.
