Highway 305 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 16 near Langham to Highway 11 near Warman. It is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) long.[1]
Highway 305 begins at Highway 16 at the south-eastern corner of the Langham town limits.[2] It travels east towards Dalmeny where it turns south until it intersects Highways 684 and 784. The highway resumes travelling east, intersecting Highway 12 approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north of Martensville. It bypasses Warman, following the northern city boundary, and ends at Highway 11.[2] In 2019, an interchange with Highway 11 was opened, modifying traffic patterns around other existing intersections.[3]
History
[edit]Highway 305 was the original alignment of Highway 16, which at the time was designated as Provincial Highway 5.[4] At the time, the highway continued east from Warman, crossed the South Saskatchewan River via a ferry, and continued east to Aberdeen and Humboldt. By the mid-1950s, Highway 5 was rerouted to follow Highway 12 south and pass through Saskatoon, bypassing the Warman ferry.[5] In the 1960s, Highway 5 was realigned between Langham and Saskatoon, and the bypassed section was re-designated as Highway 305.[6] Until 2014, Highway 305 followed Central Street (Highway 784) through Warman and ended at Highway 11, until a new bypass was opened in 2014.[7]
