Saskatoon Pressing For Improved Highway
The Saskatoon board calls on the Saskatchewan government to rebuild Highway 14 from the city to the Manitoba border. The route would link with No. 4 Highway west of Russell and has long been pitched as the second trans Canada highway, providing the most direct Winnipeg to Edmonton corridor and onward to the West Coast via the Yellowhead Pass. The board favors Highway 14 over extending a four lane road between that point and Regina.
