Route description

Hwy 343 begins in the Rural Municipality of Bone Creek No. 108 at an intersection with Hwy 631 just west of Simmie, heading east as a two-lane gravel road to pass through the hamlet, where it gains asphalt and makes a sharp left, heading north to cross a former railway line and enter into the Rural Municipality of Webb No. 138. The highway goes through a switchback before curving eastward, having an intersection with Range Road 3161, which provides access to Sunridge Resort, before entering the Rural Municipality of Lac Pelletier No. 107. Continuing on through rural areas, Hwy 343 curves northward for a short distance before making a sharp right turn at the junction with Hwy 630 at the locality of Vesper, travelling due eastward to cross the Pelletier Creek Valley just to the immediate north of Lac Pelletier, where it has an intersection with Maple Drive, which provides access to Lac Pelletier Regional Park, Darlings Beach, Camp Elim, and Camp Lemieux, before coming to an end at an intersection with Hwy 4 just to the north of Blumenort and just to the west of Blumenhof. The road continues east into Blumenhof as Township Road 124.[2]
