Provincial Highway #10 is the main north-south route in western Manitoba, connecting the mining and forestry centres of northern Manitoba (Flin Flon, The Pas, and Swan River) with a 24-hour Canada/United States border crossing at the International Peace Garden to the south. This crossing connects with U.S. Highway #2, a major east-west route across the northern States.

Highway #10 intersects the Yellowhead Route (#16) just 50 kilometres north of Brandon, providing a major route to Yorkton, Saskatoon and Edmonton.

Both Highway #1 (Trans Canada Highway) and #10 allow connection to Highway #83, a main north-south route that runs from northern Manitoba to northern Mexico.
