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
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]
Route description
Highway 47 begins at the Noonan–Estevan Highway Border Crossing and heads north towards Estevan running alongside the Boundary Dam Reservoir and providing access to Woodlawn Regional Park.[5] At the south end of Estevan, Highway 47 begins a 1.4-kilometre (0.87 mi) concurrency with Highway 18 that goes to 4th St. At 4th St in Estevan, 18 turns east and 47 turns west (concurrent with Highway 39A) and travels through downtown Estevan for three blocks. At 13th Ave, Highway 47 turns north and heads out of the city towards the Estevan Bypass. It crosses the bypass travelling to Benson and then Stoughton. At Stoughton, the highway crosses Highway 13 and meets the southern terminus of Highway 33.[6] Highway 47 continues north through Stoughton, passes by Moose Mountain Lake and heads to Highway 48. It crosses 48 and heads north to Highway 1 (the Trans-Canada Highway) where it begins an eastward 8.4 kilometres (5.2 mi) long concurrency towards Grenfell.[7] At Grenfell, Highway 47 turns north towards Melville and the junctions with Highways 10 and 15.[8] It carries on north from Melville through Willowbrook, Springside,[9] and Buchanan[10] on it way to its northern terminus at Preeceville.[11]
