'''Highway 1''' is the [[Saskatchewan]] section of the [[Trans-Canada Highway]] mainland route. The total distance of the [[Trans-Canada Highway]] in [[Saskatchewan]] is {{convert|654|km|mi|0|abbr=}}.<ref name="length"/>  The highway traverses Saskatchewan from the western border with [[Alberta]], from [[Alberta Highway 1|Highway 1]], to the [[Manitoba]] border where it continues as [[Manitoba Highway 1|PTH 1]]. The Trans-Canada Highway Act was passed on December 10, 1949. The Saskatchewan segment was completed August 21,&nbsp;1957, and completely twinned on November 6,&nbsp;2008.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vklnQYQ72tw |title=Trans-Canada Highway 1 twinning completed in Saskatchewan - YouTube<!-- Bot generated title --> |website=[[YouTube]] |date=March 19, 2012 |access-date=January 19, 2020 |archive-date=June 4, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120604201358/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vklnQYQ72tw&gl=US&hl=en |url-status=live }}</ref> The speed limit along the majority of the route is 110&nbsp;kilometres per hour (70&nbsp;mph) with urban area thoroughfares slowing to a speed of 80&ndash;100 kilometres per hour (50&ndash;62&nbsp;mph). Portions of the highway&mdash;the section through Swift Current, an {{Convert|8|km|mi|0|abbr=|adj=mid}} section east of Moose Jaw, and a {{Convert|44|km|mi|0|abbr=|adj=mid}} section between the [[Regina Bypass|West Regina Bypass]] and [[Balgonie]]&mdash;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]] (to the west) and [[Manitoba]] (to the east).

The four-lane divided highway passes through three major urban centres of Saskatchewan, [[Regina, Saskatchewan|Regina]], [[Moose Jaw]] and [[Swift Current]]. A site in the [[Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network]], an internationally acclaimed shorebird conservation strategy, is at the village of [[Chaplin, Saskatchewan|Chaplin]] approximately equal distance between Swift Current and Moose Jaw. Located southwest of the Trans-Canada is the [[Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park]], which features [[Fort Walsh]] and the highest elevation of Saskatchewan. Highway 1 traverses ranch lands, the [[Missouri Coteau]] topographical area, and rolling prairie agricultural plains.

The highway generally runs west to east along the route, following parallel with the transcontinental [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] route. The Trans-Canada Highway traverses historical settlement areas. The [[Transcontinental railroad#Canada|transcontinental railroad]] of 1885 brought settlers to southern Saskatchewan. Commemorative historical sites along the Trans-Canada Highway mark the historical changes of the 72 years since the [[Canadian Pacific Railway|CPR]] came through.

On November 9, 2011, the section between Moose Jaw and Regina was designated "Saskatchewan's Highway of Heroes" to honour province's soldiers who died in service <ref>{{cite web|title=HIGHWAY 1 DESIGNATED "SASKATCHEWAN'S HIGHWAY OF HEROES"|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/fallen-sask-soldiers-honoured-with-highway-of-heroes-1.1066751|access-date=June 14, 2012|archive-date=June 18, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120618184954/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/story/2011/11/09/sk-highway-heroes-tch-sask-111109.html|url-status=live}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web|title=Fallen Sask. soldiers honoured with Highway of Heroes|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/fallen-sask-soldiers-honoured-with-highway-of-heroes-1.1066751|access-date=June 14, 2012|archive-date=June 18, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120618184954/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/story/2011/11/09/sk-highway-heroes-tch-sask-111109.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Origins==
The Minister of Mines and Resources held the first Federal-Provincial Conference regarding the Trans-Canada Highway in December 1948. With consent from all provinces, the Trans–Canada Highway Act was passed on December 10, 1949. Following this a second Federal-Provincial Conference was held to bring together the final details for the agreement. The Highway Act aims for the completion of the Trans–Canada Highway route by December 1956.  The third Federal-Provincial Conference hold April 25,&nbsp;1950  saw Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Alberta sign the agreement which provided federal funding for the proposed transcontinental highway. The shortest and most practical routes could be chosen by each province respectively, given that provinces adjacent to one another agree on the meeting locations. The transcontinental hard-surfaced two lane highway was to have pavement widths of {{convert|22|ft|m|1|adj=on}} and {{convert|24|ft|m|1|adj=on}}; shoulder widths, low gradients and curvature; bridge clearances and sight distances; few railway grade crossings; and be able to bear load capacities of 9&nbsp;tons an axle.<ref name="Year">{{Citation  | last1 =Howe, C.D.  | first1 =the Right Honourable Minister of Trade and Commerce  | last2 =Dominion bureau of Statistics  | first2 =Department of Trade and Commerce, Canada  | title =The Canada Year Book 1951 The Official Statistical annual of the resources, history, institutions and social and economic conditions of Canada  | place=Ottawa, Ontario  | publisher =Kings Printer and Controller of Stationery  | year =1951  | id = page 634}}</ref>  As of 1950, {{convert|4119|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} have been agreed to.<ref name="Year"/>  By 1955, the Trans&ndash;Canada Highway program had only seen {{convert|4580|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} of highway completed in areas outside of Quebec.  {{convert|1523|mi|km|1|abbr=on}} of the paved {{convert|2853|mi|km|1}} of the Canadian highway Trans&ndash;Canada highway system had been completed by November 1,&nbsp;1955 to Trans&ndash;Canada Highway standards.<ref name="Year56">{{Citation  | last1 =Howe, C.D.  | first1 =the Right Honourable Minister of Trade and Commerce    | last2 =Canada Year Book Section  | first2 =Information Services Division Dominion Bureau of Statistics  | title =The Canada Year Book 1956 The Official Handbook of Present Conditions and Recent Progress  | place=Ottawa, Ontario  | publisher =Kings Printer and Controller of Stationery  | year =1956   | id = page 270 }}</ref>  Premier T.C.

The Special Projects Branch of the Department of Resources and Development administers the Trans–Canada highway Act checking specifications, and prior construction.  The contributions from the Dominion Government to the provinces may be up to 50 per cent of the cost of construction approved by the Governor in council.  The actual construction is controlled by each Provincial Highway Department respectively.  The estimated length of mileage for Saskatchewan is {{convert|461|mi|km|1|abbr=on}} of the total {{convert|4933|mi|km|abbr=on}}.

1957 saw the Saskatchewan portion of the Trans&ndash;Canada Highway come to completion, the first province to finish their section in Canada.

==History==
A First Nation trail used by fur traders, and Red River carts pulling settlers effects was the first path between [[Moosomin, Saskatchewan|Moosomin]] and Fort Ellice, Manitoba. The transcontinental [[Canadian Pacific Railway|CPR]] paralleled this trail when coming through in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.<ref name="Moosomin">{{cite web  | last = Moosomin, Saskatchewan.

''Provincial Highway 4'', the precursor of the Trans&ndash;Canada Saskatchewan Highway 1 followed the surveyed grade of the transcontinental [[Canadian Pacific Railway|CPR]] between the [[Alberta]] and [[Manitoba]] border. Travel along Provincial Highway 4 before the 1940s would have been travelling 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 [[Roads in Saskatchewan|highway]] was designed on 90&nbsp;degree right angle corners as the distance traversed the prairie along range roads and township roads.<ref name="SK HWY MAP">{{cite web  | last = Adamson  | first = J  | title = Canadian maps 1926 Highway Map  | work = Department of Highways  | publisher = Canadian Maps Online Digitization Project  | date = October 14, 2003 | url = http://www.rootsweb.com/~canmaps/1926/index.htm  | access-date = February 10, 2008  | archive-date = December 24, 2007  | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071224165108/http://www.rootsweb.com/~canmaps/1926/index.htm  | url-status = live  }}</ref>  Two horse then eight horse scrapers maintained these early dirt roads.

One of the problems that came about was when the Manitoba survey met the Saskatchewan survey. The Manitoba survey allowed for {{convert|100|ft|m}} road allowances placed east and west every {{convert|1|mi|km}}.  This system was followed west of Manitoba until just north of [[Indian Head, Saskatchewan|Indian Head]].  Whereas, the Saskatchewan survey conducted in 1887, allowed for {{convert|66|ft|m}}  road allowances and placed roads east and west every {{convert|2|mi|km}}.

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, and the trans&ndash;Canada was completed across Canada by 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.<ref>{{Citation| last =Rediger| first =Pat| title =Truck Transport| encyclopedia =The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan| publisher =CANADIAN PLAINS RESEARCH CENTER, UNIVERSITY OF REGINA| year =2006| url =http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/truck_transport.html| access-date =December 29, 2007| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20110826211834/http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/truck_transport.html| archive-date =August 26, 2011| url-status =dead}}</ref>
