Highway 24 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 3 at Spiritwood north to the community of Chitek Lake on Chitek Lake. Highway 24 is about 57.5 kilometres (35.7 mi) long.[1]
In April 2014, due to its state of disrepair, Highway 24 was named the worst highway in Saskatchewan by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA).[2] In 2021, repairs began on the highway as part of a plan to stimulate the local economy. A total of 50 kilometres (31 mi) were rebuilt.[3]
Highway 24 generally travels in a north to south direction. Its northern terminus is at the community of Chitek Lake[4] while the southern one is at Spiritwood and Highway 3.[5] The highway provides access to the Chitek Lake Recreation Site[6] and the communities of Laventure, Leoville,[7] and Penn. Intersections along Highway 24 include Highways 793, 696, and 945.
