Route description
Hwy 334 begins in the Rural Municipality of Key West No. 70 at a junction with Hwy 13 (Red Coat Trail / Ghost Town Trail) halfway between Horizon and Glasnevin, with the road continuing south as Hwy 34. It heads north through rural prairie lands, going through a switchback and having an intersection with Hwy 717 before passing through Kayville, where it crosses a former railway line. The highway curves eastward along Township Road 94 for a short distance before curving back northward, winding its way along the eastern edge of The Dirt Hills for the next several kilometres, where it enters the Rural Municipality of Elmsthorpe No. 100, has an intersection with Township Road 112 (provides access to Truax), crosses several small creeks, and passes by Dunnet Regional Park (accessed via Township Road 122). Entering the village of Avonlea, Hwy 334 crosses a railway and travels through an industrial area on the east side of town to an intersection with Hwy 339 on the north side of town, where Hwy 334 makes a sharp right and heads due east, leaving Avonlea and travelling through rural farmland to cross a bridge over Avonlea Creek, as it passes by the Long Creek Golf and Country Club, and have a short concurrency (overlap) with Hwy 623. Entering the Rural Municipality of Caledonia No. 99, the highway travels through the Piapot 75H First Nation reserve before curving northward for a short distance, where it crosses a bridge over the Moose Jaw River. Curving back eastward, it travels along the Rural Municipality of Bratt's Lake No. 129 boundary as it enters Corinne, where it crosses a railway line and comes to an end at an intersection with Hwy 6 / Hwy 39 (CanAm Highway). The entire length of Hwy 334 is a paved, two lane highway with the exception of a short 5.7 kilometres (3.5 mi) section just north of Kayville where it runs along Township Road 94, which is gravel.[3]
