It’s pothole season and in its annual bid to highlight crumbling highways in Saskatchewan, the Canadian Auto Association is taking votes in its Worst Roads Campaign.
This week Highway 21 near Paradise Hill made the list. I haven’t travelled Highway 21 for many years, choosing Highway 4 on my infrequent forays to my home community of Consul south of Maple Creek. I do remember forsaking the route because of the appalling condition of the highway in the Leader area. It seems the blight as travelled north.
Others making the list this week are:
• High Street West - Moose Jaw
• Saskatchewan 350 - Torquay
• Saskota Flyway/Saskatchewan 9 – Hudson Bay
• Saskatchewan 47 – Springside
• Saskatchewan 18 – Torquay
• Saskatchewan 21 – Kindersley
• Saskatchewan 52 - Ituna
• Saskatchewan 51 - Kerrobert
• Saskatchewan 155 - La Loche
• Saskatchewan 18 – Big Beaver
• Pasture Road – Herschel
