Highway 47 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The highway runs from North Dakota Highway 40 at the Canada–United States border until Highway 49 near Preeceville. It is about 358 kilometres (222 mi) long[1] — 64 kilometres (40 mi) of which is unpaved from the Moose Mountain Creek crossing north until the intersection with Highway 1.[2]
History[edit]
Prior to the renumbering of the Yellowhead Highway in 1976, the section of Highway 47 between Springside and Preeceville was known as Highway 314.[3] The northern extension of Highway 47 coincided with the renumbering of Highway 14 between Saskatoon and the Manitoba border to Highway 16.
The section of Highway 47 between Melville and Willowbrook was originally part of Highway 10, which turned east at Willowbrook along present-day Highway 52 to Yorkton.[4] Highway 10 was realigned in the 1960s and the former north-south section became part of Highway 47.[3]
