Highway 8 north of Carievale

Highway 8 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from North Dakota Highway 28 at the US border near Elmore until it transitions into Highway 982 just outside the Porcupine Provincial Forest. Highway 8 is about 410 kilometres (250 mi) long.

Highway 8 is paved from Elmore (km 0) until Langenburg (km 215), and then from MacNutt (km 248) until km 396 near Swan Plain.[2][3][4]

History[edit]

  • Paving of Highway 8 from Highway 10 to 22.6 km northward was announced on June 19, 1998, to begin in July of that year.[5]
  • In mid-2001, a surfacing project was begun on 17.7 km of Highway 8, from Highway 357 until Kamsack.[6]
  • A surfacing of 9.5 km of Highway 8 near Moosomin began on July 26, 2001.[7]
  • As of August 6, 2004, improvement construction had begun on 11.2 km of Highway 8, from Storthoaks until 11 km south of Redvers.[8]
