Saskatchewan Highway 11

1289:. A dispute flared up between Saskatoon and Prince Albert community organizations over whether Highway 11 or Highway 2 should be paved first. Prince Albert advocated prioritizing Highway 2 as a more direct route between the northern and southern parts of the province and a more attractive route for American tourists driving to Prince Albert National Park. Saskatoon preferred Highway 11 because the alternative would bypass it and not provide as many Saskatchewan residents the transportation benefits of direct access to a paved highway. In 1950, the provincial government indicated that it would prioritize the paving of Highway 11 between Saskatoon and Regina; by October 1952 this section was completely paved. The improved highway was also rerouted in some places, including the section between Bladworth and Dundurn which was completely rebuilt, and bypasses were built around some towns and villages through which it had formerly passed. Although the highway's route had not entirely reached its present contours, it was made straighter; the distance traversed between Saskatoon and Regina was reduced by 27 miles. It more closely followed the CNR tracks and contained fewer right angle corners than it had in 1926. The highway between Saskatoon and Prince Albert received less attention during this period; a 1956 highway map shows that it was still almost entirely gravel. 1296:, federal funds became available for provincial highway projects. Highway 11 was considered an important transportation route from a national perspective, and therefore received funding under the National Highways Project. The highway between Saskatoon and Rosthern was partially paved and the remainder was oiled to create a dust-free all-weather surface, and in 1964, the last remaining gravel section of the highway, between Rosthern and its junction with Highway 2, was oiled. In the latter half of the 1960s, many sections of the highway between Regina and Saskatoon were reconstructed and given wide shoulders; previously some segments had no shoulders. During the same period, the Saskatoon to Prince Albert portion was rebuilt to "Trans-Canada standards" and extensively re-routed to follow the same course as the CNR tracks which shortened the travel distance between the two cities by 13 miles. A new route was constructed to connect Saskatoon and Rosthern via Warman and Hague. Once this phase of construction was complete, the Rosthern to Prince Albert segment was upgraded and fully paved, and the segment between MacDowall and Prince Albert was re-routed along a straighter course. 835:, a town of over 950 residents is the halfway point between Saskatoon and Regina. The giant coffee pot and coffee cup in Davidson were erected in 1996 offering hospitality and a cup of coffee at the halfway rest stop. The Métis Fiddler and Oxcart statue were erected at Davidson in tribute to the LRT designation and the history of the Métis. The Iskwao Creek begins near Davidson and winds south to the Qu'Appelle Valley west of Girvin and Craik. A large white house erected in 1904 by Arm River Farms north of Davidson and can be seen from the LRT. Davidson Golf & Country Club is 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the town of Davidson on the LRT and provides 9-hole grass greens. Davidson Campground and Swimming Pool are located within the town. This area is a part of the Saskatoon—Biggar Economic Region and the Mid Sask Rural Economic Development Authority (REDA). Between the Qu'appelle Valley and the town of Dundurn on either side of Davidson, the AADT is approximately 5,000 VPD. 1300:

between Craik to a point just north of Davidson was twinned in late 1978. With the exception of a three-kilometre, two-lane segment through Chamberlain, the newly constructed four lane sections of the highway bypassed all the towns and villages between Saskatoon and Regina. An initiative to twin the highway between Saskatoon and Prince Albert was launched in the first decade of the 21st century. In 2006, Provincial Highways and Transportation Minister Eldon Lautermilch stated that "twinning will improve the province's busiest highways to support tourism and economic development, and move our export goods to market efficiently across inter-provincial borders." Sections of highway nearest to Saskatoon were twinned first; with the paving of newly constructed lanes along a 13-kilometre stretch between Prince Albert and MacDowall, the project was completed on 25 October 2013.

932:. The 1971 Canada Winter Games were hosted at this venue which sported ski run and ski jump. Blackstrap Provincial Park can be accessed by turning east onto Hwy 211. Wilson Museum can be seen on the outskirts of the town of Dundurn from the LRT. Dundurn is a town of approximately 650 which is located at the intersection of Hwy 211 and the AADT is around 6,000 VPD. The Bone Gatherer and horse and cart statues are visible from the LRT at Dundurn. Vast quantities of buffalo bones were gathered across the prairie in the last years of the 19th century. The bones were shipped by rail to be made into fertilizer. The huge herds of buffalo roaming the prairie were a thing of the past. "Dundurn. Honoring the Past Striving for a bright future.

Traffic has again declined with the greater distance from Saskatoon and Rosthern, with an average of 5,000 VPD between Osler and Hague, and about 4,500 VPD between Hague and Rosthern. Rosthern, a town of over 1,300 people is located in the "valley of the converging branches of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers." The South Saskatchewan and North Saskatchewan River provide two important fish habitats for the province of Saskatchewan. There are 32 species of fish in the South Saskatchewan, and 25 species in the North Saskatchewan. 1221:"The upland collection area for the underground streams comes together on top of the valley near Chamberlain. Highway construction surveyors had to curve the right-of-way to avoid this area. Another interesting diversion that the highway surveyors had to make, at the insistence of local residents, was to go around a large stone that had a metal marker spike in it, likely set up and recorded by early explorers. This site is now marked on the LRT with a large silhouette buffalo statue made by Don Wilkins." 1184: 1175:

these trails horse drawn blade graders were used to level out hummocks and fill badger holes. Horse drawn slush scrapers filled in sloughs. More advanced fresno scrapers replaced the slush scrapers as they could make longer and wider swaths across the sloughs. By ploughing the prairie soil at the road allowance, and then using road graders to pull in the dirt roads could be made wide enough for the first cars of the area. The

Improving this vital gateway will not only make travel safer and far more efficient for commercial traffic, but it will enhance the drive for thousand of visitors who head north each year to take advantage of our northern lakes" 1015:.
