Highway 368 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 5 in Muenster to the CanAm Highway (Highway 3) in Beatty. It is about 89 kilometres (55 mi) long.[1]
Highway 368 intersects Highways 756, 777, 776, and 41. Highway 368 passes near Lake Lenore, St. Brieux, Pathlow, and Claggett.
Hwy 368 begins in the Rural Municipality of St. Peter No. 369 at an intersection with Hwy 5 (unsigned Hwy 667) on the western side of Muenster, with the road continuing south for a short distance as a connector to Railway Avenue. It curves north across Wolverine Creek, travelling through rural farmland to cross Hwy 756 between Marysburg and Annaheim before entering he village of Lake Lenore, where it bypasses downtown to the east, crosses the Canadian National Railway's St. Brieux subdivision twice, and goes through a long switchback as it shares a short concurrency (overlap) with Hwy 777. Entering the Rural Municipality of Lake Lenore No. 399, the highway travels parallel to the nearby eastern coastline of Lenore Lake, passing through the locality of Daylesford on its way to the town of St. Brieux, where it shares a concurrency with Hwy 773 (Barbier Drive) as it travels along the eastern side of town, passing near St. Brieux Regional Park. Leaving St. Brieux, Hwy 368 crosses the same rail line again and enters the Rural Municipality of Flett's Springs No. 429.
Travelling on through rural farmland, the road goes through a switchback as it passes by the hamlet of Pathlow, crossing several small streams on its way to have intersections with '44 Trail' (provides access to the hamlets of Meskanaw, Ethelton, and Lipsett) and Hwy 41. After crossing a few more small creeks, Hwy 368 enters the village of Beatty, where it comes to an end at an intersection with the CanAm Highway (Hwy 3). The road continues north into the village as 1st Avenue. The entire length of Hwy 368 is a paved, two-lane highway.[2]
History
It was voted the worst highway in Saskatchewan in the spring of 2006.[3]
Between 2008 and 2012, a 35-km stretch of Highway 368 near Lenore Lake was upgraded to primary weight. The rebuilt section runs from Grid Road 756 south of Lake Lenore north to the Pleasantdale Grid Road south of St. Brieux. The project cost $25 million and was part of the provincial government's 10-year, $5 billion Transportation for Economic Advantage program.[4][5]
