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 (Highway 11) 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 6.7-kilometre (4.2 mi) long section in Saskatoon being four. The total length is approximately 253 kilometres (157 mi) 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.

Route description

Highway 14 runs from Alberta's Highway 13 at the Saskatchewan–Alberta border near Macklin, Saskatchewan, east to Idylwyld Drive in Downtown Saskatoon.

Beginning at the Alberta border, Highway 14 curves south-east towards Macklin and a one-mile concurrency with the north–south Highway 17. At Macklin, Highway 14 has an intersection with the northern terminus of Highway 31 and then curves north-east crossing Eyehill Creek and passing through Evesham. Once past Evesham, Highway 14 turns east and then travels to Unity. At Unity, it intersects Highway 21 and then continues eastward to Wilkie. As it approaches Wilkie, it provides access to Wilkie Airport and comes to an intersection with Highways 29's southern terminus. From that point, 14 travels south for about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) before turning south-east near Reford and then heads towards Biggar. Communities along this stretch include Cavell, Landis, Palo, and Oban.

Highway 14 ends signage in Downtown Saskatoon

At Bigger, Highway 14 runs along the northern edge of town and has a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) long concurrency with the north–south Highway 4. From Biggar, Highway 14 continues east to Saskatoon. Along the way, it provides access to the communities of Perdue, Kinley, Asquith, and Dunfernline. Between Kinley and Asquith, it crosses Eagle Creek.

As Highway 14 aproaches Saskatoon, it is met by the northern terminus of Highway 7 and it opens up into a four-lane highway for the remaining 6.7 kilometres (4.2 mi). East of the intersection with Highway 7, Highway 14 enters into at partial cloverleaf interchange at Circle Drive, Saskatoon's ring road. Continuing east from Cirlcle Drive, Highway 14 runs concurrently with 22nd Street W until its eastern terminus at Idylwyld Drive (Highway 11). 22nd Street W continues as 22nd Street E.

History

Prior to 1976, Highway 14 ran the width of the province, continuing east from Saskatoon to the Manitoba border where it transitioned to PTH 4. In 1970, the portion of Highway 14 east of Saskatoon was made part of the Yellowhead Highway along with the section of Highway 5 running west of Saskatoon. Six years later, in 1976, these two sections were re-designated as Highway 16 so that the Yellowhead Highway would carry one number through the four Western provinces (Manitoba would follow suit the next year, redesignating PTH 4 to PTH 16).
