Highway 1 is one of the most heavily-travelled highway corridors in Saskatchewan, providing the province with access to key Canadian markets and broader national and international logistics centres. East of Regina, Highway 1 also serves as the primary access to the city for several bedroom communities in the area. In recognition of both current and potential future growth in and around Regina, the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is taking both immediate and long-term steps to guide development and improve safety along the Highway 1 corridor between Regina and Balgonie. The study area also includes sections of Highway 48 and 46. Ministry officials are working closely with stakeholder groups, including local councils and community representatives, to address transportation needs.
