The reason why there is no connection planned across the south section of the Saskatoon Freeway is because they can’t get the land to put it through. The entire area has been filled up with acreage homes, and between them and golf courses and parks, there isn’t a place to put it through where very vocal people with LOTS of money wouldn’t be screaming bloody murder. The province tried to come up with a route through there and ran into so much pushback they gave up.

Heaviest traffic that will use this most? Regina and Yorkton highways to North Battleford in both directions. Then to PA next. Rosetown after that. Humboldt, Biggar, Blaine Lake far behind.

SouthEast to SouthWest and vice versa just doesn’t have much demand.

Going around and across the river on one side is all that’s needed. It doesn’t increase distance much to leave one Hugely expensive quarter out of it that would be used by fewest amount of drivers.
