Saskatchewan Highway 14
Highway 14 is an east–west provincial highway that runs through the central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from the Alberta border where it becomes Highway 13 to the intersection of Idylwyld Drive and 22nd Street in Saskatoon. Previously, Highway 14 ran the width of the province but the section east of Saskatoon was renumbered '16' in 1976. Most of the highway is two-laned with only the long section in Saskatoon being four. The total length is approximately long.
Though Highway 14 is one of the three major highways leading from Saskatoon to Alberta, it is less used than Highway 7 or Highway 16 as the other highways provide direct access to Calgary and Edmonton respectively.
Major communities that Highway 14 passes through include Macklin, Unity, Wilke, Biggar, Asquith, and Saskatoon.
