Highway 994 is a provincial highway in the far north region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is one of the province's shortest highways at about long.[1] [2] The highway provides access to the isolated community of Kinoosao.[3] Due to its geographic location, it is one of only two provincial highways in Saskatchewan that requires entering the neighbouring province of Manitoba to travel it, the other is Hwy 967. The route begins at the shores of Reindeer Lake in Kinoosao and heads east a short distance to the provincial line, where it continues eastward as Manitoba Provincial Road 394 towards Lynn Lake, Manitoba.

Route description

Highway 994 officially starts at the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border where Provincial Road 394 ends. About from the border, Highway 994 passes through the community of Kinoosao. It ends about later, on the shore of Reindeer Lake, as the means of access to the largest employer in the region, the fish processing plant.[3] [4]

Bridge replacement

There were plans to build or replace a bridge along Highway 994 along Reindeer Lake in Kinoosao during the 2008-09 fiscal year.[5]
