Saskatchewan Highway 11
Provincial highway in Saskatchewan, Canada / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway 11 is a major north-south highway in Saskatchewan, Canada that connects the province's three largest cities: Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert. It is a structural pavement major arterial highway which is approximately 391 kilometres (243 mi) long.[2] It is also known as the Louis Riel Trail (LRT) after the 19th century Métis leader. It runs from Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) in Regina until Highway 2 south of Prince Albert. Historically the southern portion between Regina and Saskatoon was Provincial Highway 11, and followed the Dominion Survey lines on the square, and the northern portion between Saskatoon and Prince Albert was Provincial Highway 12.

From Regina to Saskatoon, Highway 11 is a four-lane divided highway except in the village of Chamberlain, where the road narrows to two lanes through the community, including its intersection with Highway 2 south to Moose Jaw. All intersections in this segment are at-grade except for two interchanges in the Lumsden valley and in Saskatoon. Highway 11 passes through Saskatoon, following Circle Drive, bypassing the downtown area with the completion of the southern leg of the freeway in 2015.
North of Saskatoon, the road continues as a four-lane divided highway[3] past the communities of Warman, Osler, Hague, Rosthern and Duck Lake. Highway 11 then runs through the Nisbet Provincial Forest and past the hamlet of MacDowall before it reaches its northern terminus with Highway 2 approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of Prince Albert.
