    Highway 9 is a paved, undivided provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. [2] It runs from North Dakota Highway 8 at the US border near Port of Northgate until it transitions into Provincial Road 283 at the Manitoba provincial boundary.

    Contents

    The Saskota Flyway (Highway 9) is known as the International Road to Adventure, because it takes you from Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, all the way south to Bismarck, North Dakota. [3]

    Highway 9 is about 606 km (376 mi.) long and passes through Carlyle, Yorkton, Canora, Preeceville, and Hudson Bay. It intersects Highway 1, Highway 16, and Highway 5. Highway 9 is a gravel surfaced road from Hudson Bay north to the Manitoba border, passing the junction with Highway 55. Highway 9 is also known as the Saskota Flyway Scenic Drive Route [4] or Saskota Flyway [5] while the section between Highway 55 and the Manitoba border is part of the Northern Woods and Water Route. [6]

    Starting at the Port of Northgate and Elcott, [7] which are unincorporated areas of Enniskillen No. 3 Rural municipality, the highway crosses the Souris River before reaching Alameda, a town which had a population of 308 residents in 2006. [8] The highway then crosses Moose Mountain Creek before passing through Carlyle on its way north into the Moose Mountain Upland. As of 2016, Carlyle's population was 1,508 people. [8] Carlyle is located at the intersection of Sk 9 with Sk 13, the Red Coat Trail. [9] The town has been dubbed the "gateway to the Moose Mountain resorts." [10] Carlyle Lake Resort, White Bear, Kenosee Lake, and Moose Mountain Provincial Park are north of Carlyle along the route. [11]

    The land in this area was surveyed by 1881 ... A space of sixty- six feet wide between sections was left for a road allowance, every mile running north and south and every two miles running east and west. [12]

    The prairie dirt trails were the first used. Walking ploughs could loosen up earth, then two horse scrapers called fresnos could grade the low places. These projects could be undertaken by pioneer settlers who wished to work to help pay homestead taxes. Two horse teams were replaced by fours horse teams and larger scrapers. Crawler tractors eventually replaced horse teams to pull larger scrapers and graders.

    No. 9 was surveyed in 1929 and graded in 1930-31. These roads were first gravelled in 1930-31 and 1933. This made for safer driving in rainy weather, but very dusty in dry weather. Sometimes these clouds of dust were the cause of accidents on the highways. Next these roads were re-built for oiled surfaces - No. 9 to the lakes in 1956, and south of town in 1964-65....The oiled surface reduced the dust hazard, but kept breaking up under heavy loads...When potash was discovered...better surfacing was requited. So the highway were once again built up to make them wider, and No. 9 got heavy-duty paving to withstand the heavy loads. This was done in 1969-1970... [13]

    A government road project of 1931 connected White Bear (Carlyle) Lake to Fish Lake. Harry Cochrane and his crew began in the south at White Bear Lake, Bill Henderson and his crew began in the north at Fish Lake. [11] The first name of Kenosee Lake was Fish Lake. [14] The Scenic Highway Relief Project was begun travelling south to north west of the present highway. The route was blazed, trees felled, stumps dynamited, and the cleared area ploughed, in order to prepare it for the construction. [15] All this work as soon overgrown with native flora, and the road was never developed between McGurk Lake to the south and Stevens Lake and Hewitt Lake at the north end. [13] [16]

    About 1952, rural municipal councils realized they had to improve their road system to accommodate heavier loads and faster traffic.... road standards were set by the Government. Finally it was agreed the Government would pay sixty percent and the municipality the remainder [13]

    Carlyle was the headquarters for 725 kilometres (450 mi) of highway and six separate Department of Highway crews. These crews provide winter maintenance such as removing snow and ice, and summer maintenance such as drainage, sign and guardrail repair. Langbank is an unincorporated area of Silverwood No. 123 Rural municipality. [8] Pipestone Creek is traversed by Sk 9 between Langbank and Whitewood. [7] Whitewood had a population of 869 in 2006 [8] and is located at the intersection of Sk 1 TransCanada Highway and Sk 9. [9] The Qu'Appelle River and Round Lake demark the northern perimeter of Ochapowace Indian Reserve. Stockholm, a village of 323 in 2006, [8] is situated at the beginning of the concurrency of Highway 9 with Sk 22. [1] Dubuc a village of 55 folk [8] is north of Crooked Lake and Crooked Lake Provincial Park. [9] In 1926, Bangor was located on Sk 9 and not Dubuc. [7] Kaposvar Creek is crossed en route to Crescent Lake [7] an unincorporated area of Cana No. 214 Rural municipality. [8] Leech Lake is west of the Highway 9. Upper and Lower Roussay Lakes, Crescent Lake, and Leech Lake are south of Yorkton. Yorkton [8] is at the intersections of Sk 9, Sk 10 and Sk 16 the Yellowhead. [9] In 1922 a severe flood covered about 50% of the land between Yorkton and Canora taking out road and railway grades.

    Grades on which there has been no water for the past nine years have been submerged. The Canora road is under water for two miles, and the only mode of transportation to the Reman school is by boat. Almost all the bridges in Wallace Municipality are washed out....the roads between Canora and Yorkton are washed out in so many places that it will be well into the summer before auto traffic between these places will be possible. [17]

    Ebenezer a village of 139 people in 2006 [8] is next on the journey. Whitesand River is traversed on the way to the town of Canora. Canora [8] is located at the intersections of Highway 9 with Sk 651 and Sk 5. Crooked Hill Creek is crossed en route to Sturgis. The Assiniboine River, and South Etomami River pass near Sturgis. [18] Sturgis & District Regional Park is located south of the highway. [19] The Assiniboine River also ran alongside the town of Preeceville. [19] In 1926, Preeceville was the northern terminus of Sk 9. [7] It has grown to be a town of 1,050 residents (2006). [8] A few places sprang up along the rail line between Preeceville and Hudson Bay, according to the 1948 Waghorn's Saskatchewan map. [20] This area between Preeceville and Hudson Bay is the Porcupine Provincial Forest. [20] Crossing the Red Deer River, the next settlement is Hudson Bay. The Etomami River, Little Swan River, and Swan River are south of Hudson Bay. First incorporated as the Village of Etoimami (also recorded as Etoimomi) [21] on August 22, 1907, then the village of Hudson Bay Junction in 1909. On November 20, 1946, the Town of Hudson Bay Junction was created, and on February 1, 1947, the term junction was dropped becoming the town of Hudson Bay. [21] [22] The Junction was the Fir River, Etoimami River joining with the Red Deer River. [21] The town of Hudson Bay was termed "Saskatchewan's Port of Entry to the Port of Churchill and Gateway to Hudson's Bay." [21] The town has a population of 1,646 on the 2006 census. [8] Quite a few rivers were traversed after Hudson Bay before crossing the Manitoba-Saskatchewan provincial boundary en route to The Pas, Manitoba. Fir River, Chemong River, and Waskwei river are all near Wildcat Hill Provincial Park in the Pasquia Hills. [9] The Wildcat Hill Provincial Park was previously the Pasquia Hills Forest Reserve. [20] Carrot River marks the northern perimeter of Highway 9, as the road runs parallel to this river before leaving Saskatchewan and after entering Manitoba.

    Highway 1 is the Saskatchewan section of the Trans-Canada Highway mainland route. The total distance of the Trans-Canada Highway in Saskatchewan is 654 kilometres (406 mi). The highway traverses Saskatchewan from the western border with Alberta, from Highway 1, to the Manitoba border where it continues as PTH 1. The Trans-Canada Highway Act was passed on December 10, 1949. The Saskatchewan segment was completed August 21, 1957, and completely twinned on November 6, 2008. The speed limit along the majority of the route is 110 kilometres per hour (70 mph) with urban area thoroughfares slowing to a speed of 80–100 kilometres per hour (50–62 mph). Portions of the highway—the section through Swift Current, an 8-kilometre (5 mi) section east of Moose Jaw, and a 44-kilometre (27 mi) section between the West Regina Bypass and Balgonie—are controlled-access. Highway 1 serves as a major east–west transport route for commercial traffic. It is the main link between southern Saskatchewan's largest cities, and also serves as the province's main link to the neighbouring provinces of Alberta and Manitoba.

    <span class="mw-page-title-main">Northern Woods and Water Route</span> Highway in Canada

    The Northern Woods and Water Route is a 2,400-kilometre (1,500 mi) route through northern British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Western Canada. As early as the 1950s, community groups came together to establish a northern travel route; this was proposed as the Northern Yellowhead Transportation Route. The Northern Woods and Water Route Association was established in 1974, and encouraged promotion of the route with the promise of an increase in tourist travel. The route was designated in 1974 and is well signed throughout its component highways. The route starts at Dawson Creek as the Spirit River Highway and ends at the Perimeter of Winnipeg, Manitoba, after running through the northern regions of the western provinces. From west to east, the Northern Woods and Water Route (NWWR) incorporates portions of British Columbia Highway 49; Alberta Highways 49, 2A, 2, & 55; Saskatchewan Highways 55 & 9; Manitoba Provincial Road 283 and Trunk Highways 10, 5, 68 & 6. The halfway point of the NWWR is approximately at Goodsoil, Saskatchewan.

    Highway 5 is a major highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It begins in downtown Saskatoon and runs eastward to the Manitoba border near Togo, where it becomes Provincial Road 363. The highway is approximately 393 kilometres (244 mi) long. Between the early 1900s (decade) and 1976, Provincial Highway 5 was a trans-provincial highway travelling approximately 630 kilometres (390 mi) in length. At this time it started at the Alberta border in Lloydminster and traveled east to the Manitoba border.

    Highway 3 is a major provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from the Alberta border, where it continues west as Alberta Highway 45, to the Manitoba border, and then continues east as Highway 77. Highway 3 is about 615 km (382 mi.) long. The CanAm Highway comprises Saskatchewan Highways 35, 39, 6, 3, as well as 2. 59.7 miles (96.1 km) of Saskatchewan Highway 3 contribute to the CanAm Highway between Melfort and Prince Albert.

    Highway 209 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan's 200-series highways primarily service its recreational areas.

    <span class="mw-page-title-main">Saskatchewan Highway 35</span> Provincial highway in Saskatchewan, Canada

    Highway 35 is a paved undivided provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.. It runs from the US Border near Port of Oungre to a dead end near the north shore of Tobin Lake. Saskatchewan Highway 35 (SK Hwy 35) is about 569 kilometres (354 mi) long. The CanAm Highway comprises Saskatchewan Highways 35, SK Hwy 39, SK Hwy 6, SK Hwy 3, SK Hwy 2 and U.S. Route 85. 74.6 kilometres (46.4 mi) of SK Hwy 35 contribute to the CanAm Highway between Port of Oungre on the Canada – United States border and Weyburn. Mudslides, and spring flooding were huge road building and maintenance problems around Nipawin as well as along the southern portion of the route named the Greater Yellow Grass Marsh. Over 20 early dams were built until the problem was addressed with the Rafferty-Alameda Project on the Souris River and the construction of the Qu'Appelle River Dam which have helped to eliminate washed out roads and flooded communities. The highway through the homesteading community followed the Dominion Land Survey on the square until reaching the Saskatchewan River at Nipawin. The completion of the combined railway and traffic bridge over the Saskatchewan River at Nipawin in the late 1920s retired the ferry and basket crossing for traffic north of Nipawin. The E.B. Campbell Dam built in 1963 northeast of Nipawin created Tobin Lake, and Codette Lake was formed with the construction of the Francois-Finlay Hydroelectric dam at Nipawin. The railway/traffic bridge that formed part of Highway 35 was the only crossing utilized at Nipawin until a new traffic bridge was constructed in 1974. The new bridge then became part of the combined Highway 35 and 55 until the highway parts just east of White Fox. Highway 35 then continued north along the west side of Tobin Lake. The railway/traffic bridge continues to be utilized for one lane vehicle traffic controlled by traffic lights, and continues as the "old highway 35" on the west side of the river until it joins with the current Highway 35/55.

    Highway 13 is a highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from the Alberta border until it transitions into Highway 2 at the Manitoba border near Antler. Highway 13 is about 676 km (420 mi.) long. Highway 13 passes through Shaunavon, Assiniboia, Weyburn, Redvers and Carlyle. It is also referred to as the Red Coat Trail, as much of its length follows the route of the original historic path. A majority of the route between Wauchope and Govenlock going through the Palliser's Triangle is also referred to as the Ghost Town Trail.

    Highway 39 is a provincial, paved, highway in the southern portion of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan connecting North Portal and Moose Jaw in the north. This is a primary Saskatchewan highway maintained by the provincial and national governments and providing a major trucking and tourism route between the United States via Portal, Burke County, North Dakota, and North Portal, Saskatchewan. On July 3, 2000, Highways and Transportation Minister Maynard Sonntag officiated at the ribbon cutting ceremony opening the new duty-free shop and the twinned highway at Saskatchewan's busiest border crossing. Highway 39 is one of Canada's busiest highways, facilitating transport for $6 billion in trade goods via approximately 100,000 trucks over the year. The entire length of highway 39 is paved. The CanAm Highway comprises Saskatchewan Highways Hwy 35, Hwy 39, Hwy 6, Hwy 3, as well as Hwy 2. 44.3 miles (71.3 km) of Saskatchewan Highway 39 contribute to the CanAm Highway between Weyburn and Corinne. Highway 39 is divided or twinned in two areas at North Portal as well as north of Weyburn for 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi). The junction of Hwy 39 with the Trans–Canada divided four-lane highway is done via a "Parclo" or partial cloverleaf interchange.

    Highway 49 and Provincial Trunk Highway 49 is a provincial highway in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Most of the highway is in the east-central part of Saskatchewan and only a very short section is in Manitoba. It runs from Saskatchewan Highway 35 between the communities of Fosston and Hendon to the Saskatchewan — Manitoba border, before ending at Provincial Trunk Highway 83 south of the community of Benito. The combined highway is about 166.4 kilometres (103.4 mi) in length — 165.2 kilometres (102.7 mi) is in Saskatchewan and 1.2 kilometres (0.7 mi) is in Manitoba.
