Highway 16 is a provincial asphalted highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. This is the Saskatchewan section of the Yellowhead Highway, as well as the Trans-Canada Highway Yellowhead section. The main purpose of this highway is to connect Saskatchewan with Canadian cities such as Edmonton and Winnipeg. The highway runs from the Alberta border at Lloydminster (50th Avenue or Highway 17) to the Manitoba border near Marchwell. The major cities he passed were Saskatoon, North Battleford in the central part of the province, Yorkton in the far east and Lloydminster at the western end.
The highway is four lanes through Saskatchewan from the Alberta border to the west from Floral; the rest of the road is two lanes, but plan there for twin routes and get the freeway status. Similarly, Highway 16, a continuation of the highway to Manitoba, also became a twin and became a highway. It also serves as part of the Circle Drive in Saskatoon.
The Yellowhead begins as a trail of Yellowhead Red River carts. When the province was surveyed, the road evolved from the ground into gravel to an all-weather highway known as Provincial Highway 5 from the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary to Saskatoon, and as the 14th Provincial Highway from Saskatoon to the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border. In the late 1950s and 1960s, roads were straightened and widened. On August 15, 1970, Yellowhead opened for the northern Trans-Canada route. The highway was fully intended for the entire route as the Saskatchewan Highway 16 in 1976.

History
Red River Trail
The journey across Canada began in the early 19th century when Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company wanted to transport feathers from the east to Fort St. James in the district of New Caledonia, British Columbia. Sir George Simpson, governor of Hudson's Bay Company, hired a surveyor, James Macmillan, to find a route to the west. James Macmillan used the Iroquois guides "TÃÆ'ªte Jaune" (Pierre Bostonais) to help find the most worthy path. Leather needed at Fort St. James for mokasin and mukluks. The route from Saskatchewan to British Columbia through the Rocky Mountains is known as the Leather Pass or Leather Track and more commonly the Yellowhead. TÃÆ'ªte Jaune or Yellowhead is a moniker for Pierre Bostonais, which refers to his blonde hair. Pierre Bostonais, founder of the Yellowhead trail, has also been recorded as Pierre Hatsinaton and his nickname, TÃÆ'ªte Jaune Cache. The start of this land route can be found in a 19th century journey along the Carlton Path, a trail of Red River land trail that connects Fort Gary, Fort Ellice, Fort Carlton, Fort Battleford and Fort Pitt via the northern route. In 1876, Battleford became the capital of the North-West Region. This area at the intersection of the Battle River and the North Saskatchewan River was home to Cole's Post in early 1780. A shop and trading post in Hudson Bay, the headquarters of the Northwest Police and Government House was founded in 1876.
Immigration and settlement
Trains will not build across western borders without settlement because it would be too expensive to provide rail service in the barren wilderness. Clifford Sifton's immigration policy encourages migrants to arrive. Western settlements began and immigration crossed the border of Manitoba to the Northwest Territory, then became Saskatchewan. The last best western immigration settlement and early start of the highway begin in the southeast. The federal government survey crew reached the southeast of Assiniboia District, North-West Territories in 1880. In 1881, the province of Manitoba expanded to its present limits and land could be bought for $ 10 per acre. Homestead Law US President Lincoln was passed in 1862 and the land there was taken. In 1872, Canada passed the Land Law Officials, attracting residents of homes to the West.
With the formation of settlements and population comes the need of officers for the protection of education, health, fire and police and the urgent need to improve the method of travel. The North-West Region established a department, which did not last long, and was soon replaced by a rural administrative system called the local improvement district (LID). The local enhancement district is huge, and with an early dirt road for the road, and limited number of cars, the area was found too large to manage. The LID immediately gave way to a rural municipal (RM) rural civil administration system and covers an average of nine cities, three by three in the area, each 6 mi (9.7 km) square, and with some modifications still rural administration used today. This civilian government with its elected officials attended the maintenance and construction of early pioneer roads.
Provincial Highway 14
Highway 14 Province , the predecessor of Yellowhead Saskatchewan Highway 16 follows the surveyed class from Manitoba and North West railway, then CPR between the borders of Manitoba and Saskatoon.
Traveling along Yellowhead this time before the 1940s will travel in the square following city road allowances, barbed wire fences and rail lines. Because the urban roads surveyed are the easiest to travel, the first highway is designed at a 90-degree angle of right angle as the distance crosses the meadow along the streets and city roads. The two-horse then an eight-horse skipper maintains these early dirt roads.
Until 1904 all municipal affairs were managed by the Department of Public Works. In 1904, [Churchbridge]... became a herb from a larger area known as the Local Enhancement District about 144 miles (232 km) square miles... The cost of road construction around 1900, was very low. The cost of building a 20 foot (6.1 m) wide road with 18 feet (0.46 m) crown costs around $ 30, per 1 mile (1.6 km)
The railroad was assessed in 1907 and the Pleasant Hill branch linking Sutherland to Viscount operated in 1908. Great West Express provided passenger service between Winnipeg and Saskatoon during 1909 to 1960. The Local Improvement District # 17T2 was the first administrative government in the area from 1907 served until the merger of Viscount No. 341 in 1909.
Elstow was first formed in an area known as Lakeview. Administrative matters were handled from 1905 to 1909 by District Local Improvement # 17-A3 and later by the rural municipality of Blucher. 343. The Fountain Station was on the railway line and 14 provincial Highway in 1907. Lanigan received steel in 1907. Lanigan is the intersection point of CPR and five railway lines serving the area from Lanigan, as well as the provincial highway 14 (Yellowhead) and Hwy 20. Humboldt and Watson are served in the north, and Nokomis to the south as well as Saskatoon mainline Winnipeg lines. The train arrived at Wynyard in 1909, and three years later it was included as a city. Wynyard is the point of the CPR division. Laxdal received the post office in 1907, and renamed Mozart in 1909.
Provincial Highway 5
Highway 5, Evergreen Route, predecessor of the Saskatchewan Yellowhead Highhead 16 followed the surveyed Canadian Northern Railway class, then the Canadian National Railway between Saskatoon and the border of the Alberta province of Lloydminster. In 1903-1904, the Canadian Pacific Railway and Grand Trunk Railway extended to the southeast of Saskatoon.
One benefit of the assessment of both railroads is that a good construction path aligns the lines. Thus, the modern Yellowhead highway between Saskatoon and Lanigan owes its origins to the grading crew.
One event that had the greatest impact on the western segment of Yellowhead was the decision of Donald Mann and William Mackenzie, the Canadian Northern owner, to build from Manitoba to the Pacific.
While Langham and Dalmeny are both part of their historic 5th Provincial Road located directly above the current Yellowhead Highway (Saskatchewan Highway 16). The survey crosses the North Saskatchewan River twice before reaching North Battleford. The stage coach route follows along the southern Saskatchewan River, and steel north of the North Saskatchewan River. The postal service is then assigned to the rail, and disperses the use of the stage coach track.
The ferry crossing is near the current Borden Bridge. The park area in the north of the river is called the Baltimore district. The first railroad junction is in the Ceepee, located on the banks of the southeast river from the North Saskatchewan River.
The first western side of Saskatoon is Goodrich, better known as Radisson today.
There are two L.I.D. which form the municipality. the north is L.I.D. 21-D-3 and the southern part is L.I.D. 20-D-3
Local improvement districts manage the area between 1906 and the establishment of the Great Bend No. 405 in 1910. Improvement of Regions No. 21-J-3 handled matters between 1905 and 1910 when the local government was taken over by Mayfield No. 406 rural municipalities.
July 28, 1905, Lloydminster was reached by the Canadian Northern Railway and November 24, 1905, Edmonton. The oil capital, Lloydminster was founded by the settlement of the Barr colonists in 1903. Maymont saw its beginnings arise from several colonists of Barr who settled here on their way to the Britannia settlement. The rail arrived at Battlefords in 1906. Highway 672 Hwy Cutknife Highway to the south and Paynton Ferry in the north across the North Saskatchewan River, both built in 1906-1907, created the main intersection of Provincial Highway 5 (Yellowhead Highway) and Highway 674.
Evolution of cars and roads
The car appeared at the beginning of the 20th century to be pulled by horses again in a dirty thirties. In 1906, cars could be registered, and the plates were released in early 1912. In the late 1920s cobbled streets near larger centers such as Yorkton, Saskatoon, Battlefords, and Lloydminster. All weathered streets were developed in the 1930s, which began to depart from the surveyed city streets that linked the centers directly. Roads are also built to allow rainfall runoff, with a round, round surface.
The lack of roads and excessive difficulties in building them across districts is a major issue of the [Churchbridge] board as a resolution passed and passed on to the Provincial Government. In the opening for their resolution, they show that a good Path is the most important factor in shaping a well-done and well-populated population. and Expenses to build a good road will be too draining. current generation. In January 1910 records showed us that L.I.D. 12 A-1 has become a Local District Improvement District. 211.
On February 20, 1907, J.B. Gibson introduced the first car at Yorkton. That is Reo 20 horsepower. Within a few months, several other cars appeared on the streets of Yorkton, and the pattern spread to other cities along the line.
A chain-driven case is the first gasoline buggy power driven in Paynton by Eddie Langier followed by McLaughlin's Alex McKay.
... when this is the Local Enhancement District... men work taxes by building roads with pick and shovel and horse teams and what we call dredgers.
Norman Lambert of Denholm sells Ford Model T gas-powered buggies and McLaughlin Buicks gives driving lessons 15 or 20 minutes to the proud new owners.
The streets are just a prairie trail that is wrapped around a cliff, up and down a hill. These streets are quite adequate for horses, but are different stories for cars; very little from the entrance to the square where the road allowance was finally surveyed. When it rains, there is always a puddle of mud at the bottom of every hill and every speeding car makes the hole deeper until you get stuck. The arrival of the car soon made a big difference. The grassland paths proved to be inadequate and road allowances were assessed and built; culverts should be installed where natural water flows. The new graded streets are major improvements but many muddy miles are piloted over the village streets. Gradually, some major highways will get some gravel and it's quite fun to drag a dirt road into a few gravel miles - Les Moffatt.
Mr. Hugh Gibson thought that the ox was too slow - so he bought a motorcycle, then in 1912 he bought a Maxwell car, the first car in the area. [Maymont]
In the spring of 1912, bonds were sold to Wood and Gandy Co. for $ 17,700, so five new, steel road managers purchased from Hamilton Machinery Co.... World War II ended... Bonded triumphant money and tractor Crawler with scrap-take-all purchased. The first motorcycle patrol operator was hired for $ 125 per month. The snow removal becomes necessary so that a V-plow attachment and a chain set are added... [1954-1956] Highway # 14 has been reconstructed so that R.M. put up new signs for the cities at the intersection.
.
The Radisson became the city of 1 July 1913, eight years after the arrival of the train.
On January 1, 1913, our [Churchbridge] district became part of R.M. No. 211.
Law issued in 1913 with limited speed up to 10 m.p.h. [10 miles (16 km/h) for motor vehicles, converted in 1917 to 15 m.p.h. [15 miles (24 km)/per hour] and again in 1937 to 20 m.p.h. [20 miles (32o, km)/per hour] The provincial license was required for cars in 1913 and license and car numbers were registered with the secretary treasurer. Someone must be 18 years old to drive a car. In 1917 motor vehicles were required to operate in a way not to frighten the horses.
I J. Carruthers operated the Carruthers Garage in Lashburn, and six Model T Ford cars were shipped here October 5, 1917. These cars needed assembly, and a total of 18 cars were sold in 1917, and 24 in 1918 with prices ranging from $ 563 to $ 818. Lashburn is served by Provincial Highway 5, the initial name for Saskatchewan Highway 16.
Viscount RM set up a survey for major roads in the area in 1917.
Canada's Pacific Railway came to Lloydminster in 1926.
In 1927, the Highway Department suggested that Jasper Highway follow C.N.R. track between the Radisson and Borden, but City disagrees with this and requests that the old highway in the square be continued - 6 miles (9.7 km) or 7 miles (11 km) east of the Radisson, from south of 4 miles (6.4 km) to the point near Borden. This plan was followed at that time. In 1930, a delegation from the council discussed the Minister of Highways and the Cabinet in Regina requesting No. 5 it became the all-weather highway throughout the Province. In other words gravel along the way . In 1947 several lots in the northern part of the city were sold to the Provincial Highways Department for the construction of Highway # 5 to pass through the city at the north end.
The company that built the old highway (# 5) paralleled the Canadian National Railway... by sorting that road in 1928 or 1929 with their four horse teams.
Construction of Highway No. 14 between Lanigan and Saskatoon began in 1929. It was a dirt road built on earth, with a road right of 66 feet (20 m) and a 24-foot (7.3 m) road surface.
Provincial No. 14 was scraped off in 1930. The 1930s saw the beginnings of gravel roads, and surfaces from Wynyard to Manitoba were rocky pebbles, and the 1940s saw all the rocky eastern routes.
The Borden Bridge was built in 1936 replacing the ferry service on the North Saskatchewan River. This northwest route swarmed in 1955. The Saskatoon bridge cuts officially opened on October 20, 1969, shortening the journey between North Battleford and Saskatoon as far as 6 miles (9.7 km) As the highway developed and the road was straightened out, several towns disappeared they are disconnected from the Yellowhead route. Dalmeny survived the Borden-Saskatoon Bridge alignment project.
Some highway construction took place as a work project from the thirties. Work programs and wages provided assistance to farmers during the depression years of
In January 1943, the tariff for road repairs was set at 80 cents an hour for a man with a team of four horses, a man receiving 40 cents an hour and a man with a two-horse team can receive 65 cents an hour. The mandor collects 50 cents an hour for road repairs.
Larger improvements emerged as part of the industrial revolution in the 1940s after the return of people from World War II. After World War II, improved economic and agricultural factors, increased taxation, and a mechanized road building program resulted in better roads.
Township [Churchbridge] has now obtained the construction of electric roads and maintenance equipment.
In 1958, road construction equipment was bought and sold for motorcycle class and snow plower. 440. Road elevations and travel by car soon saw the death of a large majority of settlements along grasslands that lived communities in the first half of the 20th century.
November 1947 saw people along Yellowhead organize together with caravans and encounters to encourage the Trans-Canada Line to be built on the northern route connecting eastern and western Canada. Trans-Canada was officially opened in 1962 along the southern route.
The current [near Sheho] highway [1955] was completely rebuilt and completely rebuilt.
In 1955, Battlefords were served by Highways 4, 5, and 40 and CNR and CPR. Saskatchewan Highway 16, then Provincial Highway 5 dubbed the Evergreen Route . Fort Battleford is still a national historic site. In 1955, it was estimated that Trans-Canada Yellowhead would soon appear along the route. In 1955,
Highway No. 5 is an excellent walk for all the harsh weather leading to Saskatoon and connecting with nice walks to other centers.
Archaeological Site
The original village of Kirilovka Doukhobor was discovered by the Saskatchewan Highway and Transportation while undertaking the construction of a new line for Hwy 5 province northwest of Saskatoon, and west of Langham. Excavation begins August 23, 1996. A 1944 aerial photo is superimposed on a Hwy 5 construction area that indicates the foundation of the house.
Yellowhead Highway
The 14th early Provincial Highway in the East and Provincial Highway 5 to the west were built and driven on the square. In 1957, the Trans-Canada Highway opened, and shortly thereafter, Yellowhead became eligible for federal funding. The opening ceremony for Yellowhead was held in 1962, and the highway was completed in 1965. The 14 provincial highway was expanded in 1957. The route was straightened past Plunkett and Viscount.
The 1957 road specification is the right way 150? and road surface 38? Center 22? this way oiled, leaving 8? gravel shoulders on each side.
In 1968, the road was once again rebuilt... the right way was widened to 180? and roads. Improvements were made on this northern route, and on August 15, 1970, the Yellowhead Route was officially opened.
The Yellowhead Economic Development Authority (REDA) began to take shape in April 1998 to encourage economic development by rural towns, villages, municipalities along the Yellowhead Route. This is the 25th of the Saskatchewan REDA and that includes founding members Langenburg, Churchbridge and Bredenbury, MacNutt, Langenburg. 181 and Churchbridge No. 211.The road is completely paved.... In 1978 when # 14 became part of the Yellowhead Route, that number changed to 16.
The divided highways
Canada is the only industrial country that does not have a federal government-funded highway system... Recent federal policy changes mean that freight, driven by trains, is now being transported by road. This has put great pressure on our roads. A robust national road system is essential for the transfer of goods and services throughout the country. Highway and Minister of Transportation, Judy Bradley
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held August 24, 2000 when 10.7 kilometers (6.6 mi) of the Twinhead Yellowhead roads in summer 2000 between Lashburn and Marshall. East of Marshall, the highway is connected to the already twin section. Grading will begin to become twins again 16.2 kilometers (10.1 mi) part of the highway between Lashburn and Maidstone in 2000, with paving of this section completed in 2001. Highway and Transport Minister Maynard Sonntag commented that
twinning on the Yellowhead Highway will help save lives, along with improving driver safety and comfort... We are on track to meet our twinning commitment to the national highway system. Highway and Minister of Transport Maynard Sonntag
The four-lane four-lane highway between Saskatoon and North Battleford was officially opened December 8, 1997 by Highways and Transportation Minister Judy Bradley and Federal Transport Minister David Collenette. $ 42.4 million was spent on the creation of these twins
92 kilometers (57 mi) of the new highway, a new bridge over the northern Saskatchewan River near Borden and a new railway. - Government of Saskatchewan
The construction of this repair cost $ 42.4 million. The Strategic Roadway Improvement Program (SHIP) is a program between the federal and provincial governments to improve the five-year-old main road to the twin portions of Yellowhead. By 2012, Yellowhead will be twins from Saskatoon to the Alberta border. $ 164 million has been allocated to two national highways in Saskatchewan, to complete the twin Trans-Canada Highway 1 and to multiply the Yellowhead between North Battleford and Lloydminster by Federal and provincial governments on 5 March 2003.
