Every year CAA Saskatchewan holds a contest to find the worst roads in our province by allowing residents to nominate streets and highways in their region. Saskatchewan people can then vote on what they feel is the worst of the worst.
“We do share the results with those who are responsible for maintaining and repairing – municipal and provincial governments,” explained Christine Niemcyzk of CAA Saskatchewan. “We also share with a lot of stakeholders (like) SARM (Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities) and SUMA (Saskatchewan Association of Urban Municipalities), even the folks who build the roads, the Saskatchewan heavy Construction Association, to let them know that these roads (the top ten) for this year and the previous years have been deemed unsafe.”
Last year, highway 44 near Eston was named the worst road in Saskatchewan followed by highway 30, also near Eston. This year’s worst road is highway 8 near Moosomin thanks to a high number of potholes. 2024 also saw four streets in Moose Jaw make the top 10 list. Voting took place on the CAA Saskatchewan website between April 9th and 29th.
