Highway from “hell” in Saskatchewan
YORKTON, Sask. (Feb. 5, 2004) — The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has cited Hwy. 47 between Yorkton, Sask. and the U.S. border the 2003 Highway from Hell.
“Hwy. 47 stretches the limits on the definition of the word ‘highway’ with its rapid transitions from mangled, pot-holed pavement to deep gravel,” the CTF stated during the annual contest.
The group also gave a “dishonourable mention” to several sections of the Trans-Canada throughout the country. Other highways noted for their axle-cracking capabilities were Hwy. 8, north of Gimli, Man., 108 in New Brunswick, Hwy. 198 in Quebec, Hwy. 3 in the NWT, and Hwy. 97 in B.C.
