Highway 994 is a highway in the northern-most reaches of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is aproxamatly 2.3 km (1.42 mi.) long and provides access to the most isolated community in northern Saskatchewan, Kinoosao.[2][1] Due to its geographic location, it is the only provincial highway in Saskatchewan that requires entering the neighbouring province of Manitoba to travel it.
Route description
Highway 994 officially starts at the Manitoba/Saskatchwan border where Provincial Road 394 ends. About 1.4 km from the border, Highway 994 passes through the community of Kinoosao. Highway 994 ends 400 m later, on the shore of Reindeer Lake, as the means of access to the largest employer in the region, the fish processing plant.[2][3] The highway is only open for a few months a year due to the extremes of winter weather. Highway 994 is one of the few entirely unpaved highways in Canada.
Future
There are plans to replace a bridge along Route 994 in Kinoosao during the 2008-2009 fiscal year.[4]
