    Highway 4 is a major provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.[2] It runs from U.S. Route 191 at the United States border near Monchy to Highway 224 / Highway 904 in Meadow Lake Provincial Park.[3] Highway 4 is about 652 kilometres (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.[4]

    History

    Highway 4 was originally designated as Provincial Highway 1, while the present-day Highway 1 was designated as Provincial Highway 4.[5] The designations were switched around c. 1940 to allow for the future Trans-Canada Highway to have the same number across western Canada.[6]

    Route description
