Highway 4 is a major highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from U.S. Route 191 at the United States border near Monchy to Highway 224 / Highway 904 at Meadow Lake Provincial Park. Highway 4 is about 652 km (405 mi) long.[1]
Major communities that Highway 4 passes through are Swift Current, Rosetown, Biggar, Battleford, North Battleford, and Meadow Lake. It also passes The Battlefords Provincial Park.
History
Highway 4 was originally designated as Provincial Highway 1, while the present-day Highway 1 was designated as Provincial Highway 4.[2] The designations were switched around c. 1940 to allow for the future Trans-Canada Highway to have the same number across western Canada.[3]
