Highway 340 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 16 at Radisson to Highway 40 at Hafford and intersects Highway 685. It is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) long.[1]
Hwy 340 begins in the Rural Municipality of Great Bend No. 405 in the northeastern corner town of Radisson at an intersection with the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16), with the road continuing into town as Richard Avenue. It slowly curves due northward, quickly leaving Radisson and travelling through rural prairie lands for several kilometres, where it crosses a causeway over the eastern reaches of Radisson Lake, to enter the Rural Municipality of Redberry No. 435. The highway now has an intersection with Township Road 420 (provides access to Redberry Park) as it continues on through rural areas, having a junction with Hwy 685 and traversing a switchback to cross Marshy Creek and enter the town of Hafford along 2nd Street W, passing through neighbourhoods along the western side of town before crossing a former railway line and coming to an end at a junction with Hwy 40, with the road continuing north as Range Road 3102. The entire length of Hwy 340 is a paved, two-lane highway.[2]
