SASKATOON – Drivers have picked a new highway as Saskatchewan’s worst road of 2014.
The third annual Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) Saskatchewan worst roads campaign received a record-breaking 4,651 votes this year between April 1-25.
A road qualified as a “worst” if it is riddled with potholes, severe rutting, has poor signage or poses a safety hazard to motorists.

- Highway 24, Leoville
