History
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 and the United States to the North West Territories which later became Saskatchewan. The last best western immigration settlement and early highway started in the southeast. The Federal Government survey crew reached the south east 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 $ 10.00 an acre. The US Homestead President Lincoln Act was passed in 1862 and the land there was taken. In 1872, Canada passed the Land Law Officers who attracted the inhabitants of the house to the West.
Saskatchewan Provincial Highway 39 parallel to the upper reaches of the Souris River and the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) along the southeastern part of the route. This highway crosses the diagonal path from southeast to northwest. The road follows the initial surveyed roadway allowances made by Highway Highway 39 , the predecessor of Saskatchewan Highway 39 following the surveyed CPR class or Soo Line between the United States. border and east of Moose Jaw. Travels along Provincial Highway 39 before the 1940s will run in the square following municipal road allowances, barbed wire fences and railroad tracks. Because the urban roads surveyed are the easiest to travel, the first highway is designed at the exact angle of 90 degrees angle because of the distance across the meadows along the streets and city roads.
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 Northwest Territory established the departments that did not last long, and was soon replaced by a rural administrative system called Local Improvement Districts (LID). The Local Enhancement District is huge, and with an initial dirt road for the road, and limited number of cars, the area is mostly found to be managed. Closed. immediately gave way to the rural municipal system of rural civil administration and covers an average of 9 cities, 3 x 3 in the area, which is 6 miles each (9,7 km) square, and with some modifications still rural administrations used today. A rural municipality (R.M.) is an elected government system that provides essential services such as police, fire, health, education and infrastructure services to rural residents. For example, L.I.D. 64 is the precursor of Brock No. 64 in Assiniboia district, North West Territories. Historically, citizens can pay taxes or provide a few days per quarter of workers who build roads, bridges and security, instead of paying taxes. This civilian government with its elected officials attended the maintenance and construction of early pioneer roads. Two horses then eight skyscrapers maintain this initial dirt road.
"The last LID joint meeting was held on November 5, 1910. Currently taxes reach $ 8.00 per quarter share.For the last few years of the LID Government, some changes began to happen, reduced from ten to eight hours, first class purchased on March 31 1906. Further road machines were purchased, each drag $ 7.25 and wheel scrapers respectively for $ 51.00 The road inspectors were also weed inspectors.In 1908, each Township received $ 100.00 for road work. Peanuts paid $ 30.00 per hectare for land used for road construction.... Road allocation for 1927 was $ 2,500.00 for each division with tax rate of 6 factories... In 1928, RM [Rural City Estevan No. 5] bought a Holt 60 Caterpillar and 12-foot tractor for $ 9,200.00.The road construction now costs $ 103.00 miles.The next year an upscale student purchased for $ 2,425.00 In 1930... Constructions si started on Highway 39. "- A Tale That Told: Estevan 1890 - 1980.
In 1940 Hwy 39 was shown on the map when traveling on the diagonal and straightened, no longer was the road described in the square . However, the 1955 map of the map still shows the segment of the right corner of the highway near Corinne and the highway south of Estevan to the North Portal.
In 1947 and 1948, the highway was paved from Portal North to the intersection with Hwy 6 in Corinne. However, the paved surface has become damaged within a few years; a Leader-Post reporter wrote in 1953 that "almost the entire road, from North Portal to Corinne is just a collection of big holes, holes, and cracks, and in some places the hard surface is completely gone." Director of the Motor Vehicle Transportation Association of Saskatchewan A.R. Mang blames poor road conditions for failing to place a suitable "base line", a layer of gravel and clay, between sidewalks and earthen ground bases. The 1955 map shows that the segment between Estevan and Lang has returned to the gravel and the 1956 roadmap shows all the segments between Weyburn and Estevan as gravel roads. These maps also show the segment between Corinne and intersections with Trans Canada Highway as gravel. Repairs are done at great cost, but the situation requires temporary restrictions on heavy traffic and rerouting traffic along the nearest road.
The Highway and Transport Minister Maynard Sonntag announced the highway coating for Hwy 39 for the summer of 2001. Highways and Transport Minister Mark Wartman announced highway coatings for Highway 39 in 2003. Prime Minister ChrÃÆ' Â © tien and Premier Calvert announced major road improvements which had to be completed for Highway 39 in 2007. This highway upgrade saw a twin highway at North Portal for easy access to the new task-free shop. A group of so-called Soo Corporation Corporations Association supports many of Hwy 39 and parts of Hwy 6 to create a continuous twin corridor that stretches from Regina to North Portal to boost Saskatchewan's trade with the United States. Premier Calvert has expressed interest in the proposal but no action has been taken to implement it.
CanAm Highway
The 71.7 kilometer (44.6 mi) segment between Weyburn and Corinne is designated as part of the CanAm Highway. Near Corinne, Hwy 39 concurrent with Hwy 6, at Corinne, CanAm Highway continues north on Hwy 6. South WeAnburn CanAm Highway crosses the Canadian US border via Hwy 35. "Projects on Highways 39 and 6 will help to improve current traffic through this Canadian/US port. 'Highways 6 and 39 are very important for Saskatchewan - serving as a major north-south trade network of trade and corridors to the US,' Sonntag said.
