Saskatchewan Highway 34

1

Highway 34 is a paved, undivided provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 13 about 16 km west of Ogema south to the US border. The highway used to connect to Montana Secondary Highway 511 at the Port of Big Beaver, however the port is now closed. Highway 34 is in the south-central part of Saskatchewan and travels through a geographical area of rugged badlands, rolling hills, and open prairie. It is about 62 km long.

Route description

Highway 34 begins at the now closed U.S. border crossing of Big Beaver. The Canadian government closed the port to northbound traffic in 2011 while the U.S. closed it to southbound traffic in 2013. From the U.S. border, Highway 34 heads north across West Beaver Creek en route to meet Highway 18 near Big Beaver. About 17 km north of the intersection with Highway 18 is the access road to Castle Butte. From there, Highway 34 drops into and traverses the Big Muddy Valley. Coming out on the north side of the valley, the highway continues in a northerly direction where it meets Highway 705 about 5 km south of Bengough. Highway 34 has a 4 mi concurrency with Highway 705 before it splits off to the east on the north side of Bengough. From that concurrency, Highway 34 heads straight north for another 16 km until it ends at Highway 13. Highway 334 carries on north from the end of 34.
