Highway 2 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The highway is partially divided and undivided[2]. It is the longest Saskatchewan Highway, at 809 km (503 mi). However, only about Template:Km to mi km near Moose Jaw, {{}}km to mi|11}} near Chamberlain, and Template:Km to mi km near Prince Albert are divided highway. Highway 2 is a major north-south route, connecting Montana Highway 24 at Port of West Poplar River, and Opheim, Montana at the Canadian-American border, with the town of La Ronge, Saskatchewan in the north. It passes through the major cities of Moose Jaw in the south and Prince Albert in the north. Highway 2 overlaps Highway 11 between the towns of Chamberlain and Findlater. This Template:Km to mi-km section of road is a wrong-way concurrency. The highway ends at La Ronge, where it becomes Highway 102.

The stretch of Highway 2 from Moose Jaw to Prince Albert was designated in 2005 as Veterans Memorial Highway. The designation coincided with Veterans Week 2005.[3] The CanAm Highway[4] comprises Saskatchewan Highways Hwy 35, Hwy 39, Hwy 6, Hwy 3, as well as Hwy 2

History

Travel along the Provincial Highway 5 before the 1940s would have been traveling on the square following the township road allowances, barbed wire fencing and rail lines. As the surveyed township roads were the easiest to travel, the first highway was designed on 90-degree, right-angle corners as the distance traversed the prairie along range roads and township roads.[6]1926 Saskatchewan map

Agriculture is Saskatchewan's main industry and taking grain to elevators was first accomplished by horse and cart, to be replaced around World War I by truck travel. Long haul trucking flourished between 1950 and 1970. Since the 1970s, 17 times the number of grain trucks and 95 per cent of goods transported now are hauled by truck across the Saskatchewan.[7]

Veterans Memorial Highway

Veterans Memorial Highway is the official name of Highway 2 between Moose Jaw and Prince Albert.

Sk Hwy 2 at Buffalo Pound Lake

As a tribute to Saskatchewan veterans, Premier Lorne Calvert, Highways and Transportation Minister Eldon Lautermilch and Past Provincial President of the Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command, John Henderson together unveiled the new highway sign on November 10, 2005. The ceremony was held during veteran's week, Nov. 5th-11th, and also commemorates The Year of the Veteran, 2005.[8] The highway designation coincides with Veterans Week (Nov. 5th-11th) and is one of several significant honours bestowed to veterans in 2005, The Year of the Veteran. The Year of the Veteran commemorates the 60th Anniversary of the end of the World War II.[9] The Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command and Saskatchewan Remembers Committee came together to select this particular highway of Saskatchewan because of the history of a military presence along the route. Royal Canadian Legion branches are located at Moose Jaw, Penance - Holdfast, Young - Zelma, Watrous, Simpson, and Prince Albert. A military history museum is located at the Watrous, as well military memorabilia is held at Prince Albert Royal Canadian Legion branch. Moose Jaw Royal Canadian Air Force RCAF and 15 Wing military base is located 5.5  kilometers south-southwest of Moose Jaw.[10]

Having escaped glaciation, the geology of the Rockglen Region encompasses a treasure trove of artifacts from the late Tertiary Period through the entire Quaternary Period, containing potential mining sites for coal, bentonite, kaolinitic and ceramic clays. In the past, placer gold had been found here near Fife Lake and Kimberlite and Garnet indicate possible Diamond potential, which is currently being actively explored near Lisieux. Ravenscrag gravel pits and badland escarpments lay it all open to you in the Rockglen Region

[20] Paleontological digs have uncovered a 63 million years old sea turtle which has been excavated in the Killdeer region.[21] Rockglen is located at Km 49.7, and Highway 2 now extends in a northerly direction again. Fife Lake is located to the north east of the highway.[1]

By 1985, their (The piping plover (Charadrius melodus) ) numbers had dwindled to fewer than 6000 birds world-wide. It was at that time they were placed on the endangered species list and put under the protection of the Federal Migratory Bird Convention Act and the Species at Risk Act. They are also protected by the Saskatchewan Wildlife Act. Rockin’ Beach Regional Park hosted two field days this past summer to discuss and demonstrate the plight of the Plover

Watertown (1903-1910) provides easy access to Etter's Beach on Long Lake. The settlers of Watertown established a postoffice named Harkness, Post Office, Assiniboia, North West Territories. With the arrival of the rail, the village became known as Imperial. Long Lake during this era was the main transportation route utilising steamships to transport both freight and passengers. The length of the lake provided nearby access to the communities of Saskatoon (near the north end) and Regina (near the south end).[34] The town of Simpson is also along the highway which runs parallel to Last Mountain Lake. In 1929, the R.M. of Wood Creek #281conducted roadwork with three graders, 53 slush scrapers, 15 wheel scrapers and five ploughs.[35] There are several road side turn outs to access Last Mountain Lake from Highway 2.[1] The Last Mountain Lake Sanctuary was the first federal bird sanctuary.[36] Highway 15 provides access to Nokomis to the east, and Kenaston to the west.[13]

The small town of Amazon is located before Watrous, which is a tourist destination due to its proximity to Manitou Beach and the ehdorheic Little Manitou Lake. Watrous, in the Land of Living Waters, is a tourist destination due to its proximity to Manitou Beach, home of the world famous Mineral Spa and Danceland dance hall (known as the "Home of the World Famous Dance Floor Built on Horsehair").[37][38] Highway 2 continues in a northwest direction after Watrous and the Highway 365 junction circumnavigating around the Little Manitou until it gets to Young and the junction of Highway 670.[1] Young and Zelma were two towns that were part of the alphabet railway of the Canadian National Railway (CNR).[39] As recently as 2002, this section of Highway 2 was improved Template:Km to mi south of the Yellowhead. At Km 398.1 is access to Zelma.[13]

"Highway 2 has seen an increase in truck traffic, leading to wear and tear on this highway...We are paving a section of this highway as it has deteriorated over the past number of years. Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation is working hard to fix roads across the province to improve driver safety."

Highways and Transportation Minister Mark Wartman [40]

The Yellowhead Trans Canada Highway 16 is at Km 426.3. Colonsay is located to the west, and Plunkett to the east.[1] Colonsay is the location of one of several potash mines in Saskatchewan, a major employer of the region. Potash evaporites were laid down during the geological formation of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.[41] Meacham at Km 442.0 is located in the Aspen Parkland

[42] This area is the beginning of the aspen parkland, leaving the moist mixed grassland ecoregion. Throughout the Aspen Parkland ecoregion are trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides ) bluffs (small islands or shelter belts) within the prairie region.[43] Meacham, a small town is located at Km 442 just before the junction with Highway 5 west which provides access to Saskatoon.

The later name change to Red Deer Hill is attributed to a large hill which in the early days was populated by many elk, wapiti (Cervus canadensis) or "red deer". The area is part of the aspen parkland biome.

Boreal transition ecoregion

St. Louis was recently the site of the discovery[49] of a large archaeological site[50] of aboriginal artifacts.

Arm River Rest Area
Arm River Rest Area

Key discoveries in the archaeological site included new species of wolf and buffalo approximately 25% larger than modern species, and a bead that indicates decoration of clothing about 1000 years earlier than previously thought.[51] The North Saskatchewan River is crossed at this point via the St. Louis Bridge. From 1876, the river crossing was via ferry. In 1814, the railway built a rail bridge across the river, and in 1928, the vehicle lanes were added.[52] [53] The junction with Highway 11 occurs just south of Prince Albert at Km 562.9.

CanAm Highway

The CanAm Highway, Highway 3 segment joins with Highway 2 at Km 568.4, and they become a concurrency for Template:Km to mi crossing the North Saskatchewan River via a bridge. During this concurrency, the highways make an intersection with Highway 55, and Highway 3 west becomes concurrent with Highway 55 west however, Highway 2 continues northward as the CanAm from this point northward.[1]

Chamberlain

Prince Albert became a city in 1904, and was one of the fastest growing settlements of the North West Territories. Keyhole Castle built in 1919, has been designated a Canadian Historic Site. The Prince Albert Historical Museum is housed in the old Fire Hall built in 1911. Diefenbaker House, the home of right honourable John Diefenbaker has been converted into a museum.[54] [55] The Prince Albert area is a part of the Boreal transition ecoregion agricultural fields and forested areas border the highway.[56] At Km 593.9, Highway 2 meets with the intersection of Highway 325.
