History
Road 290 originally lead into the abandoned town of Sundance. Sundance was organized in the 1980s with portable trailers for people building the Limestone Dam in northern Manitoba. The trailers made up the elementary school, a few stores, a community center and several homes. The town has been abandoned as only empty lots and roads remain, including Road 290.
