Highway 27 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The highway runs from Highway 41 west of Aberdeen east to Highway 2 near the western shore of Muskiki Lake.[2] It is about 34 kilometres (21 mi) long.[1]

The highway provides access to Prud'homme[3] and Vonda.[4]

History

[edit]

The present-day Highway 27 is part of the original Provincial Highway 5 alignment, a trans-provincial highway that travelled from Manitoba to Alberta and crossed the South Saskatchewan River via ferry, while Provincial Highway 27 connected Aberdeen with Saskatoon.[5] In the late 1940s, the highway 5 and 27 designations were switched so that Provincial Highway 5 passed through Saskatoon.[6][7]
