Highway 52 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The highway runs from Highway 15 / Highway 310 near Ituna to Highway 10A in Yorkton near Pleasant Heights. It is about 70 kilometres (43 mi) long.

Highway 52 connects with Highways 617, 651, and 47. It also carries a short concurrency with Highway 310 for 1.6 km (1.0 mi) to its western terminus; Highway 310 continues its concurrency with Highway 15 south of the junction.[1] The communities of Homefield, Willowbrook, Fonehill, Vanstone, and Collacott are near the highway between Highway 15 and Yorkton.

History

[edit]

The section of Highway 52 between Yorkton and Willowbrook was originally part of Highway 10, which then continued south to Melville along present-day Highway 47.[2] The designation was changed when a more direct highway was constructed in the 1960s.[3]
